As reported, in the city of Qarshi, Kashkadarya region, a person posing as a local preventive inspector called a citizen to the division, claiming there had been a complaint against them and that they had various photos and videos at hand.
The woman was unable to go, and the person who had introduced himself as a preventive inspector then demanded 500 dollars from her to settle the matter. The woman, believing his words, transferred the requested money to his bank card to ensure her personal information remained confidential.
Afterwards, the fraudulent preventive inspector demanded an additional 1.5 million som from the citizen to close the case entirely and was caught by the law enforcement agencies while receiving the money.
Currently, a criminal case has been initiated under part 2 of article 165, clause "b" of the Criminal Code (if the fraud was committed by a group of people in a premeditated conspiracy), and pre-trial detention has been applied to the suspect.
