In Tajikistan's capital, officers from the Sino District Department of Internal Affairs (OVD-1) detained 27-year-old Dushanbe resident Suman Murodova on suspicion of fortune telling and witchcraft. This was reported by the Dushanbe Department of Internal Affairs.
According to the agency, Murodova hosted public receptions at her home, offering "services" of fortune telling using cards and candles. She received monetary compensation for these services.
Police officers filed an administrative charge against the woman under Article 482 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Republic of Tajikistan ("Witchcraft and Fortune Telling"). The case materials have been submitted to the court for further review and decision.
Law enforcement agencies urge citizens not to trust individuals offering "magic services" and to report such incidents to the police department's duty station.
