In Belovo, a disturbing incident unfolded during a late-night watch, when a worker who had fallen asleep while on duty was subjected to a brutal beating by his employer. Information from the eve area Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Kemerovo region confirms that the subordinate suffered serious injuries as a result of the assault. The man was left with a closed fracture to his arm and a lung injury, leading to his admission to a local hospital for urgent treatment and evaluation. The case drew immediate attention from local law enforcement as investigators pursued the full sequence of events that led to the violence.
According to police reports, the victim had been employed as a watchman at one of Belovo’s businesses. The assailant, who arrived at the scene with a night check, confronted the sleeping worker in a fit of rage. A shovel was seized, and multiple blows were delivered with the handle, causing clear and life-threatening injuries. The severity of the wounds and the timing of the confrontation raised questions about the intent and the circumstances of the attack, prompting a thorough investigation by regional authorities. The incident underscores concerns about workplace safety and the potential for escalation when unaffordable stress combines with authority and power dynamics on site.
Following the inquiry, prosecutors charged the head of the enterprise with deliberately causing grievous bodily harm. The charge reflected the gravity of the harm caused and the manner in which the act was committed. Court proceedings examined the evidence collected by investigators, and the materials presented were deemed sufficient to support a guilty verdict against the accused. The court ultimately sentenced him to one year and five months in prison, to be served in a penal colony operating under a general regime. This outcome illustrates the legal system’s emphasis on accountability for violent acts committed within a work setting, regardless of the perpetrator’s position or status within the organization. The ruling was issued after a process that balanced the seriousness of the injuries with the circumstances surrounding the incident, and it served to reinforce the expectation that violence in the workplace will be addressed firmly by judicial authorities.
In a related development, earlier reports indicated another troubling event connected to public safety officials. It was learned that the former head of the traffic police in Surgut was involved in an incident at a pedestrian crossing, where his actions resulted in harm to his own daughter. This separate report, while distinct from the Belovo case, underscores ongoing concerns about conduct and accountability among those in positions of authority within law enforcement and related institutions. Authorities continue to monitor such cases as part of their broader commitment to upholding the law and protecting the public.
