A schoolboy from Pyt-Yakh, Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug, made up a false story about the attack, claiming that he was beaten and robbers robbed him of money after buying bread. The parents filed a complaint with the police, and the head of the Investigative Committee of Russia, Alexander Bastrykin, took the case under personal control, instructing them to begin a criminal case of extortion with violence, reports the Komsomolskaya Pravda Telegram channel. However, after analyzing CCTV footage, it turned out that the teenager beat himself to make the fictitious robbery seem believable. The real goal was to keep the money for myself and spend it with friends.
