On November 10, 2025, Arujan Aybekova, a blogger from Kazakhstan, shared her thoughts about an administrative case being initiated against her due to a prank she conducted in the Tashkent metro. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
Earlier, she had recorded a video of herself playing pranks on young men in the Tashkent metro and posted it on her social media pages. These videos sparked widespread discussion on social networks.

Stop this. This path is not yours." Arujan responded by assuring that everything would be fine and explained her actions: "I wanted to make people happy and lift their spirits.
My goal was to fill the surroundings with joy and love," she said.
