A student was caught opening an account in someone else's name and collecting money from their acquaintances.

A student from one of the higher education institutions in Jizzakh city was found to have deceived other individuals. This was reported by the press service of the regional police department.

This individual, residing in the Sharof Rashidov district, opened a Telegram account in December 2024 in the name of a friend who was a student at the same university. Through this account, he requested a loan of 600,000 soums from an acquaintance who was a student living in the Qashqadaryo region, Qamashi district.

He transferred the money to a bank card registered in someone else's name and used it for personal needs.
