The incident occurred on December 22, 2025, when a woman named Ch.G. contacted the Sverdlovsk District Internal Affairs Department. She reported that the criminals, posing as employees of the State National Security Committee, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the National Bank, convinced her to transfer money via an ATM to their bank card. As a result, the damage amounted to 22 million 130 thousand soms.
Based on the incident, a criminal case has been initiated under the article "Fraud" of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic. During operational activities, officers of the criminal investigation department identified the suspects — T. Zh. (born in 2002) and K. E. (born in 2006). They were taken to the Investigative Service and placed in a temporary detention facility.
Actions are ongoing to determine the possible involvement of other individuals in this crime and to clarify all the circumstances of the case.
The Main Internal Affairs Department of Bishkek reminds that representatives of government agencies never require citizens to transfer money to bank cards or provide personal information over the phone. Residents are strongly advised to be vigilant and, in case of receiving similar offers, to contact the internal affairs authorities or call 102.
