A shocking story unfolded in one of the districts of the Surkhandarya region. Shahzoda (name changed), hoping to resolve health issues and save her family, sought help from a local witch doctor. Instead of providing assistance, he exploited her trust for his selfish gain. Specifically, the man told her she not only needed to bring him 258 million sums but also sleep with him 11 times to get her husband back.
The Start of Manipulations
Shahzoda and her mother first visited the witch doctor, Alisher (name changed), to perform a ritual for her health. During the meeting, he claimed her problems were caused by magical influence, scaring the woman. Her mother asked the witch doctor to help, and he agreed, demanding 50–60 million sums for the ritual.
When Shahzoda said she didn’t have that amount, he demanded her 32-gram gold chain, promising to return it after the ritual. However, he never returned the chain.
A few days later, Shahzoda returned to the witch doctor alone. This time, he said they must “become like brother and sister” and frightened her further by claiming her husband would soon leave her for another woman.
Extortion of Money
The witch doctor demanded the money her husband had been saving to buy a house in Tashkent. Terrified by the threat of divorce, Shahzoda brought all the money from her home — 258 million sums. Alisher promised to return the money in a week but failed to do so.
When Shahzoda came back for the money, the witch doctor said he would return it only after 11 sexual encounters with her. She refused and told her husband everything. Her husband gave her a recording device to gather evidence.
Involvement of Law Enforcement
Shahzoda turned to law enforcement authorities. Together with operatives, she visited the witch doctor under the pretense of another ritual. She placed $300 and 9 million sums on the table. Alisher began undressing her and tried to coerce her into sexual intercourse, but at that moment, the operatives intervened and confiscated the money.
Court Proceedings
The actions of the witch doctor were classified under Article 41-1 (sexual harassment) of the Administrative Offenses Code. The court found him guilty of sexual harassment, expressed through inappropriate comments, gestures, and touches. He was sentenced to five days of administrative arrest.
Unresolved Questions
However, the issue of the money Shahzoda handed over to the witch doctor remains unresolved. Reportedly, to avoid fraud charges, the man partially returned the money, but a full refund has not yet been made.
This story highlights how easily manipulators can exploit people’s fears and trust. It’s important to remember that no witch doctor or mystic can solve problems requiring professional or legal intervention.
