A court in the Karaganda region has reviewed the case of a man who threatened to blow up a residential building with a gas cylinder. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Kursiv Media.
According to case materials, the incident occurred on September 2. A drunk resident of Shakhtinsk frightened his neighbors, and when police arrived, he refused to open the door and started cursing.
Due to the threat, emergency services were called. Specialists were ready to evacuate residents if necessary.
After some time, the man opened the door himself. However, during detention, he did not obey police demands.
As a result, no residents were injured.
In court, the man's guilt was confirmed by an administrative offense report, witness testimony, and other case materials. The court recognized remorse as a mitigating circumstance.
"Under Part 2 of Article 434 of the Administrative Code, he was sentenced to 15 days of arrest for petty hooliganism, and under Part 1 of Article 667 of the Administrative Code, another day for disobeying lawful police orders. The final punishment was 16 days of administrative arrest," the press service of the Shakhtinsk City Court reported.
Additionally, special behavioral requirements were imposed on the man for three months. He is prohibited from consuming alcohol, narcotic, and psychotropic substances. He must also report to the Shakhtinsk police department three times a month for preventive talks.
The court ruling has not yet entered into legal force.
Earlier, Kursiv reported on a Karaganda resident who tore off a gas pipe and threatened to blow up a multi-story building.
