On May 3, in the street, Blagoveshchensk city deputy and member of the LDPR party Arseniy Kamalov struck several times on the head the local TV company correspondent who had arrived to interview him about the beating of his ex-wife's father. The deputy snatched the journalist's phone and retreated into his pickup truck, hoping to delete the material collected on him. «I got into his car. I said: 'Let's go to the police, but give me the phone, I'll write a report on you'. And I just get hit in the left side, I get hit in the right side, I get hit in the head. I don't remember how I got out of the car. He thought he had deleted all those videos, but he didn't know they were saved on the phone», – said Davletov.
