Bastrikin Requested a Report on the School Conflict with a Knife in Omsk
Following a heated incident at a school in Omsk, investigations have been launched by Russian authorities.
Alexander Bastrykin, Chairman of the Investigative Committee of Russia, has ordered a detailed report on the progress of the probe into unlawful actions taken against a minor in Omsk.
"Reports in the media suggest that in Omsk, during a clash at a general educational institution, a student committed unlawful actions against his peer", reads an official statement from Russia's Investigative Committee.
Let's refresh our memories: The incident occurred on Thursday, April 3, 2025, at School No 86. According to preliminary reports from "SuperOmsk", ninth-graders were discussing the origins of the word "ugly," a term that was not necessarily derogatory at one point in history - it was a common way to address an elder son in a family. However, one student used the term to insult another, who in retaliation sliced his classmate's forehead with a knife.
Investigators from the Investigative Committee of Russia for the Omsk Region will assess the student's actions based on vandalism statutes.
Alexander Bastrykin has issued instructions to the head of the SU Investigative Committee for the Omsk Region, Viktor Batischev, to provide updates on the investigation and the preliminary findings.
