The investigation revealed that on November 24, 2025, the suspect, claiming that his card was "blocked," convinced student T.A. to temporarily give him his bank card. They together visited one of the banks in the Osh region, where K.I. unblocked the card, and afterward sold it through Telegram for 5,000 soms to an unidentified person.

In a similar manner, the suspect managed to obtain another ten bank cards from his classmates, each of which was also sold for 5,000 soms. Later, these cards were used to commit crimes.
In connection with the incident, 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 Department of Internal Affairs, and by a court decision of the Lenin District, he has been ordered to be held in custody for one month in SIZO-1.
Currently, the investigation is checking his possible involvement in other similar crimes.
- The police warn: transferring bank cards, details, and personal data to third parties is illegal and may result in criminal liability. Citizens involved in such schemes become accomplices to crimes, and those engaged in collecting cards — the so-called droppers — face stricter penalties.
