In Bishkek, law enforcement agencies detained a group of suspects involved in large-scale fraud. A local resident became a victim of fraudsters who deceived her out of 22 million 130 thousand soms.
According to information from the Sverdlovsk District Internal Affairs Department, on December 22, 2025, a woman named G.Ch. reported to the police. She stated that strangers, posing as employees of the State Committee for National Security (GKNB) and banks, contacted her via the WhatsApp messenger, using various phone numbers.
The fraudsters used psychological pressure to convince the victim to carry out a series of financial transactions. As a result, she sold her apartment and transferred the money to the specified accounts.
In connection with the incident, a criminal case has been initiated under Article 209 "Fraud" of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic.
During the operational and investigative actions, three suspects were detained: A.Z. born in 2007, B.S. born in 1998, and N.M. born in 2002. They have been placed in a temporary detention facility.
Currently, the police continue to conduct additional operational-search activities to identify other possible accomplices and gather evidence.
The Bishkek City Internal Affairs Department reminds that law enforcement officers, bank employees, and government officials do not communicate with citizens via messengers, do not demand money transfers, and do not give instructions regarding the sale of property.
Citizens are advised that upon receiving such calls or messages, they should immediately terminate the conversation and contact the nearest internal affairs agency or call the number 102.
