In Bishkek, law enforcement agencies detained a group of suspects involved in large-scale fraud, of which a resident of the capital became a victim. The damage inflicted on the woman amounted to 22 million 130 thousand soms.
According to information from the Sverdlovsk District Department of Internal Affairs, on December 22, 2025, a citizen G.Ch. reported to the police. She stated that strangers, posing as employees of the State Committee for National Security (GKNB) and banks, contacted her via the WhatsApp messenger, using various phone numbers.
The fraudsters managed to mislead the woman by applying psychological pressure and convinced her to carry out several financial transactions. As a result, she sold her apartment and transferred money to the specified accounts.
A criminal case was initiated under Article 209 "Fraud" of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic.
During the investigation, three individuals were arrested: A.Z. born in 2007, B.S. born in 1998, and N.M. born in 2002, who were placed in a temporary detention facility.
Currently, law enforcement agencies continue their efforts to identify other possible accomplices and gather evidence.
The Bishkek City Department of Internal Affairs reminds that representatives of law enforcement agencies and banks never contact citizens through messengers, do not demand money transfers, and do not give instructions on selling property.
Citizens are urged that in case of receiving such calls or messages, they should immediately cease communication and contact the nearest internal affairs department or call the number 102.
