Officers of the Department of Internal Affairs No. 1 of the Sino district of Dushanbe detained a citizen engaged in illegal activities in the field of fortune telling during targeted operational and preventive measures. This was reported by the Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the city of Dushanbe.
As established during the investigation, a resident of the capital, Dzhonshoeva Matluba, made predictions about the future using playing cards, dolls, bunches of harmala, as well as various objects such as locks and keys. At the same time, the woman derived material benefits from her actions, accepting payment for the "services" provided.
According to law enforcement agencies, this activity falls under the signs of an offense under Article 482 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Republic of Tajikistan. An administrative protocol was drawn up against Dzhonshoeva, and an administrative penalty in the form of a fine was imposed on her.
The Dushanbe Department of Internal Affairs reminded that such actions related to witchcraft, fortune telling and other false practices contradict the law and traditional moral foundations of Tajik society. Law enforcement agencies urge citizens not to succumb to deception and report such facts to the internal affairs agencies.
Preventive measures to suppress illegal activities in this area will continue.
