Four held as 11 kg of hashish seized in Fergana and Andijan regions
Uzbek police stopped two pairs of men in the Fergana Valley, one in Bukhaydin district with 10 kg of hashish and one in Bostan district with 1 kg, and said all four belonged to one organised group. A regional news agency counted them with a separate Tashkent student case as 12.5 kg of drugs in three regions.
Two members of an organised drug group were stopped in Bukhaydin district,
Fergana region, and found carrying 10 kilograms of hashish, about 20,000 doses.[1]The two had run the business for about a year, police said, collecting
hashish left in hiding places at coordinates passed on by a man living in
Kyrgyzstan.[1]They planned to distribute the hashish among residents of
Fergana, Namangan and Andijan regions.[1]
Two more men were stopped in Bostan district, Andijan region, with 1 kilogram of
hashish, about 2,000 doses, for sale in the region.[1]Police said those two
were also part of the same organised crime group and sold drugs in Andijan
region.[1]The interior ministry announced both detections together as the
break-up of one organised drug group.[1]The interior ministry put the hashish
at 11 kilograms across the two regions, about 22,000 doses.[1]
A regional news agency reported police detaining several groups and taking 12.5
kilograms of drugs, which it said amounted to about 25,000 doses in Tashkent
region and Fergana and Andijan regions.[2]The Fergana group had for more than
a year been taking drugs from hiding places at given addresses and passing them
to residents of the three regions.[2]In Andijan region, locals were caught
holding 1 kilogram of hashish intended for sale there.[2]

Podrobno.uz gives no day for the detections; the article is dated 8 November 2025. Daryo.uz says the Fergana stop was on 29 October 2025, and the Andijan date is not published, so the publication date stands in for the incident date.
The submitted title says three regions, but its own text names only Tashkent region, Fergana and Andijan; no Tashkent region case is described.
Podrobno.uz counts three arrests of 10 kg, 1 kg and further cannabis in Tashkent, but Daryo.uz lists a further detention of two people in Andijan, adding up to six. The Andijan total is therefore uncertain.
Neither source says how many people were involved in the Tashkent student cases.
The 82 grams in the Tashkent student case is a combined figure for mephedrone, hashish and marijuana, so it is not counted as a cannabis quantity.
Daryo.uz says the hashish came from a contact living in Kyrgyzstan, while Podrobno.uz describes only hiding places at given addresses; both accounts agree on the pattern of deliveries left for collection.
No charges or court outcome were reported; the accounts describe arrests and ongoing investigation.
Officers seized 545 grams of hashish in Gulistan and 2.071 kg of marijuana in Turtkul district during multi-agency operations reported on 11 November 2026. One man was detained in the Karakalpakstan episode and criminal cases were opened over the wider four-region roundup.
Interior Ministry officers stopped a drug network in Tashkent's Yangihayot and Yashnabad districts and continued the raids in Kokand, seizing 55 grams, 430 grams and 1 kilogram of hashish. A criminal case was opened for dealing; the number of people held in Kokand was not stated.
Officers of the Interior Ministry and the State Security Service broke up a drug-selling network in Tashkent and Tashkent Region and detained five people, including a married couple caught with 50 packs of hashish.
