The Kursk Leninsky District Court has taken into custody a man following an incident in a Kurchatov store where a four year old child was struck. This information comes from the Unified press service of the judicial system in the Kursk region via a telegram channel.
During the proceedings, the court noted that the accused, a 55 year old man named Gulaev Mukhamed, faces charges related to an attempted life interaction with a minor for hooligan reasons as described in the case materials.
The information from the court materials indicates that the accusation falls under Part 3 of Article 30, in conjunction with paragraph c and i of section 2, Article 105 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
