What is known about the case
The investigation is being conducted by the regional directorate of the Investigative Committee; it concerns an alleged crime against a minor. Details are not provided in the agency's statement.

A similar practice in October
This is not the only such request from the head of the Investigative Committee in recent weeks: in October, Bastrykin demanded a report on the investigation into the death of a 15-year-old teenager at a health camp in Sochi. The boy's parents, who believe their son did not receive timely medical care and who expressed disagreement with the course of the investigation, had contacted him.
