According to available information, the detained individual is K.I., born in 2005. He is currently in custody at the Investigative Service.
“According to the investigation, on November 24, 2025, the detainee, using the pretext of 'blocking his bank card,' temporarily obtained the bank card of a student named T.A. Together with the cardholder, he went to a bank branch located in the Osh region, where he unblocked the card and later sold it via Telegram to an unidentified buyer for 5,000 soms,” the statement says.
Furthermore, the investigation revealed that he acquired 10 bank cards from his classmates at one of the educational institutions in the Osh region in a similar manner and also sold them through Telegram at a price of 5,000 soms each. These cards were subsequently used to commit crimes, noted the Internal Affairs Department.
In connection with these events, a criminal case has been initiated under Article 209 (fraud) of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic. The suspect has been placed in the temporary detention facility of the Bishkek City Internal Affairs Department in accordance with Article 96 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Kyrgyz Republic. The Lenin District Court of Bishkek has decided to keep him in custody for one month in the pre-trial detention center SIZO-1.
Representatives of the Internal Affairs Department also reported that the possible connection of the detainee with other similar cases is being investigated, and the inquiry continues.
The police remind that the transfer or sale of bank cards, account details, confirmation codes, and personal data to third parties may lead to criminal liability. Individuals providing cards for illegal transactions may be recognized as accomplices.
Note: "Drop conduit" refers to a person who seeks and attracts "drops" — individuals who, for a reward, provide bank cards, accounts, or personal data for conducting illegal financial transactions.
