An internal affairs inspector was detained in Tashkent while receiving 7.5 thousand dollars

An illegal case related to university admission has been uncovered.

In a joint prompt operation conducted by the Tashkent City Department of the State Security Service, the Department under the General Prosecutor's Office, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, a case related to illegal admission to a higher education institution was exposed.

In particular, a person born in 1997 in the Gallaorol district of the Jizzakh region, currently residing in Tashkent, gained the trust of another individual and, with the help of acquaintances, demanded 8,000 USD in exchange for enrolling them in the 3rd year of a private university in the capital based on forged documents claiming they had allegedly studied for 2 years at one of the higher education institutions in the Russian Federation. The individual was caught with material evidence while receiving 7,500 USD.

The prompt operation was then continued, and a citizen born in 1993, registered in the Ishtikhon district of the Samarkand region and temporarily residing in Tashkent, was also detained while receiving the 7,500 USD from the aforementioned person.

During the pre-investigation inquiry, it was revealed that an inspector-psychologist of the Yakkasaray District Department of Internal Affairs was also involved in this illegal activity, and the prompt operation was continued.

As a result, the inspector's illegal actions were also stopped while they were receiving the 7,500 dollars.

Currently, a criminal case has been initiated against these individuals regarding the situation, and investigative actions are underway.
