According to the report, the man, born in 1995 in Tashkent and previously held criminally liable, met a woman born in 1994 and residing in Andijan district through a social network. He claimed to work at a center in Tashkent where driving tests are conducted and, through alleged high-ranking acquaintances, promised to secure a certificate and driver’s license for her without the need to attend exams.
