On January 22, 2026, a local resident from the Panfilov district approached the Department of Internal Affairs of the Jayil district. He reported that in November 2025, a certain I.R., who worked at one of the lyceums in the city, under the pretext of entering data about course completion into the electronic system for obtaining a driver's license, swindled him out of 30,600 soms. He did not receive the promised services, and the money was not returned to him.
A man was detained in Kara-Balta on suspicion of driver's license fraud.
Based on this fact, a criminal case was opened under Article 209 "Fraud" of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic.
As a result of operational-search activities, the police were able to identify and detain the suspect, the previously convicted I.R., born in 1966. He was placed in a temporary detention facility in accordance with Article 96 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Kyrgyz Republic.
The investigation is ongoing.
