In Tyumen, police are searching for a participant in a mass brawl that occurred in one of the bars in the city center. After the conflict, the victim ended up in the hospital. According to a source, he underwent a serious operation and had part of his intestine removed.
As 72.RU was told by the police, a criminal case was opened back on October 31, 2025. It concerns the charge of inflicting grievous bodily harm committed by a group of people. There are five individuals involved in the case.
«During the conflict, one man was injured. Four participants have already been identified and detained. The fifth is currently being sought,» the Tyumen police press service reported.
According to a source from the editorial office, the fight occurred in the bar «Butleger» on Kirova Street, 28. According to the interlocutor, several men were involved in the conflict, among whom were participants of the «Russian Druzhina» movement (a volunteer patrol group) from Tyumen and Omsk. The source also claims that one of the participants in the fight was one of the main representatives of the druzhinniki in the city.
The editorial office of 72.RU requested a comment from representatives of the «Russian Druzhina». They stated that they know nothing about fights in bars.
«The Russian Druzhina is an unofficial association; we have no membership. Therefore, we cannot comment on this case,» the organization responded.
Earlier in Tyumen, a scandal erupted due to another raid involving the «Russian Druzhina». Activists visited bars in search of foreigners who violate migration legislation. The druzhinniki, along with the police, came to Malina bar and «laid» guests face down on the floor. This outraged visitors who had come to the establishment not just to relax but to celebrate a wedding.
