Law enforcement agencies in Uzbekistan have conducted a series of operations across multiple regions to dismantle underground schemes for the illegal sale of potent drugs. More than a thousand tablets were seized, and criminal cases have been opened against the dealers.

In the Yangiaryk district, officers from the Department under the General Prosecutor's Office, together with other security forces, caught two citizens red-handed while selling 50 tablets of the drug Gabaten.

A similar incident occurred in Gulistan, Tashkent region, where three individuals were detained during an operation for selling 46 tablets of Zardex.

In the Uchtepa district of Tashkent, a search of an Onix car revealed 930 units of drugs containing potent substances. It was established that they were intended for further illegal sale. All products were seized as material evidence.

Criminal cases have been initiated under Article 251-1 of the Criminal Code, which provides for liability for illegal trafficking of potent substances not classified as narcotic or psychotropic. Investigative actions are ongoing.

Earlier, law enforcement in the Fergana region thwarted an attempt to smuggle potent drugs from Kyrgyzstan. A local resident was detained with nearly three thousand tablets containing psychotropic substances.
