Police in the Khatlon region reported the arrest of a woman suspected of providing fortune-telling and witchcraft services, despite warnings and numerous programs aimed at exposing fraudulent practices by fortune-tellers and sorcerers, according to the press service of the regional Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Tajikistan.
As the department noted, people who find themselves in difficult life situations and want to realize their plans continue to turn to superstitions, believing that such people are deceiving them.
As part of an operational search, Dusti district police officers detained 55-year-old Chutova Kholdur Ziyakhonovna, born in 1971, a resident of the village of Kukhdomani. She received visitors at her home and practiced fortune telling, witchcraft using chicken blood, and so-called "love spells" and "love breakers."
Based on this fact, an administrative protocol was drawn up against the detainee in accordance with Part 1 of Article 482 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Republic of Tajikistan.
