According to the investigation, on November 24, 2025, this young man, claiming that his own card was blocked, convinced student T.A. to temporarily hand over his bank card. They went together to a bank branch in the Osh region, where K.I. unblocked the card and then sold it to an unknown buyer via Telegram for 5,000 soms.

Using a similar scheme, he also obtained ten more bank cards from his classmates, each of which was sold for the same amount. These cards were subsequently used to commit various crimes.
In connection with the above, a criminal case was 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 the decision of the judge of the Lenin District Court, he has been sentenced to one month of detention in SIZO-1.
Currently, the investigative authorities are checking the possibility of his involvement in other similar crimes.
- The police remind citizens that the transfer of bank cards, details, and personal data to third parties is illegal and carries criminal liability. Participation in such schemes can make citizens accomplices to crimes, and the organizers of card collection, known as droppers, are subject to stricter punishment.
