Two other teenage boys are being interrogated about their roles.
The case comes amid evidence of a rise in serious crimes in Russia by young people amid Vladimir Putin’s war against Ukraine.
A shocked train driver stopped and radioed for help when he saw her, said reports.
‘The girl was put diagonally across the rails — there was blood, and then she rolled off the track and lost consciousness,’ said a railway employee.
‘There were burns on her body, and even the dry grass around was smoking.
‘When the paramedics arrived, she was still unconscious.’
The source said: ‘When we got closer, we saw a girl.
‘She was completely naked, wearing only socks.
‘No clothes were found.
‘Her whole head was covered in blood, her hair was burned.
‘There was no blood on the body.
‘Her head had been banged against the rails.’

He said: ‘It was very lucky that she was not run over by a train.’
The witness said that the tortured girl had ‘inflammable liquid in her mouth and [in the genital area].’
Her attacker or attackers ‘were getting rid of biological traces,’ he said.
‘I helped the paramedics carry the girl on a stretcher.
‘She had burns on the left side of her body, her left leg and arm.
‘Her skin peeled off her hands when they tried to lift her.’
Her distraught father, a college teacher, said she had come home from a party at Minyazev’s house, but unknown to her parents had gone out again, climbing through the window.
They believed she was asleep in her room.
The horrific case has been taken under the ‘personal control’ of Russia’s most senior criminal investigator, Alexander Bastrykin.
Two months ago he bemoaned a ‘general rise in crime’ especially among teenagers and children.
‘We see a trend when serious and particularly grave offences are being committed by children,’ he said.
Bastrykin was a university classmate of Putin’s.
A judge detained Minyazev for two months.
