Officers from the Sino District Department of Internal Affairs No. 1 detained Dalerjon Karimov, born in 1987 and a resident of Vahdat, while engaged in fortune telling and witchcraft. This was reported by the Dushanbe Department of Internal Affairs.
According to law enforcement agencies, the detainee is the imam-khatib of the Abubakri Siddik Mosque, located on Safedoron Street in the city of Vahdat, and, contrary to Sharia law, was engaged in fortune-telling and witchcraft.
Based on this incident, an administrative protocol was filed against Dalerjon Karimov under Article 482 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Republic of Tajikistan. The court imposed an administrative fine of 80 calculated units, or 6,240 somoni.
Law enforcement agencies have once again reminded citizens of the need to refrain from both fortune-telling and from contacting such individuals, as the country's legislation provides for administrative and criminal liability for both parties.
