The Orenburg Region authorities of the Investigative Committee have detained the director of OOO Zhilkomservis during an investigation opened on 6 March 2016, when some children had gotten injuries after icicles fell on them from the roof of a house.

According to the investigation, on 6 March 2016, two boys aged 5 and 8 were walking with their father near a 5-floor block of flats in Kommunisticheskaya Street in the town of Buguruslan, when parts of two-meter-long icicles fell on them from the roof. The children were injured. The 5-year-old is in the intensive care unit in a hospital where he was taken with a basal skull and temporal bone fractures. He has had a surgery by now. The second boy was taken to a hospital with chest injury and was discharged after treatment.

The suspect is under house arrest pending trial. The investigation is ongoing.
