The Interior Ministry commented on the placement of two bloggers, Sanjar Ikramov and Sherali Komilov on the wanted list. Reportedly, Sanjar Ikramov, 35, aka Sanjar Xo'ja, on March 1, 2011, proposed to help to buy a vehicle to the citizen F.Kh. He took 20 million soums from the victim and spent them on his own needs.

The Almazar District police department put Ikramov on the wanted list on March 31, 2012 on charges of large-scale fraud due to the fact that he was allegedly hiding from the investigation.

Sherali Komilov (aka Detectiv Uz) was tried in 2011 under Extortion charge and on March 14, 2022 under paragraph Large-scale fraud charge.

“He did not take the path of correction and continued his criminal actions,” the Ministry of Internal Affairs said in a statement.

On June 6, 2021, Komilov introduced himself as a journalist and blogger to a woman, Sh.S., and promised to post on social networks a story about the trial of her son (1999), accused under Forced satisfaction of sexual unnatural form, committed against a close relative, ex-wife, person living together on the basis of a single household, or a person with a common child charge and Kidnapping of a minor from mercenary or other base motives; by prior agreement by a group of persons charge.

Thus, the blogger promised to help form public outcry and to mitigate the punishment by putting some public pressure on the courts. For this, he took 5 million soums and spent it on his own needs, the report said.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs presented three more facts with his participation in 2021-2022 - a promise to help with the collection of alimony payments for 5 million soums, a solution to the housing issue for 3 million soums and $ 300, as well as insulting Karshi police officers with “words that humiliate their honor and dignity ".
