A fight outside an Ulaanbaatar nightclub on 18 July 2025 left a man badly injured; three suspects were arrested and a fourth, the chief executive of Gobi Cashmere, left the country. The assailants were reported to have been under the influence of illegal drugs, though no drug was named. The video spread widely and the case became part of a broader argument about drug use and impunity; the same week, the prime minister urged street patrols and the interior minister ordered nightclub raids.[1]
