According to information provided by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, on January 17, a resident of the capital approached the Sverdlovsk District Department of Internal Affairs. She reported that on December 18, 2025, her son was kidnapped by unknown individuals around 21:30 on Shirokaya Street in Bishkek.

During the investigation, it was revealed that the criminals threatened the teenager, used psychological pressure, and filmed a video to create the appearance of his involvement in drug crimes. This video became a tool for blackmail, as they demanded 400,000 soms.

As a result of operational actions aimed at detaining the suspects, five young individuals born in 2007 and 2008 were caught during an attempt to receive the money.

The detainees were handed over to the investigative authorities, and the case continues to be investigated.
