A man from Tatarstan was detained after authorities alleged he tried to set his wife on fire. The disclosure came from regional authorities overseeing the Investigative Committee of Russia in the region.
The event occurred in the Bugulminsky district. Law enforcement officials stated that a verbal dispute occurred between a 65-year-old man who was under the influence and his wife. During the exchange, the man reportedly doused the woman with gasoline.
According to the Investigative Committee, the woman managed to escape by jumping from a window and seeking help from neighbors, who then called emergency services.
A criminal case has been opened against the husband. Investigators are conducting a full range of procedural steps to establish the sequence of events and identify additional facts. Authorities intend to petition for the defendant’s arrest as part of the ongoing investigation.
In a separate incident from Irkutsk, a man reportedly set his apartment on fire and faced other property-related losses while spending his birthday in police custody. This case is being reviewed by regional authorities and aligns with broader discussions about domestic safety and fire risk in residential settings.
