The Islamabad High Court has instructed the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) to determine the identity of the third Chinese national detained following their arrival in Pakistan with valid business visas, according to a petition filed by Muhammad Nasir. The court requested the NCCIA to submit a report to the court with the completed identification.
Assistant Attorney General Usman Ghuman stated that two of the three Chinese nationals have been identified, but the identity of the third remains unknown. The court asked the petitioner to help the agency in this process. The three Chinese nationals were detained as a result of a joint operation by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), NCCIA, and Islamabad Police on August 11, at Sparco Plaza in Gulberg Greens.
The petition alleges that the three had entered Pakistan on valid business visas and were uninvolved in any of the FIRs registered following the raid. The court was informed that 258 persons were registered under the Foreigners Act and 114 persons under the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (Peca) and the Pakistan Penal Code. The petitioner also challenged the detention of the Chinese nationals, stating that they were being held without an arrest memo or court order.
The court has granted the Ministry of Interior, FIA, and other respondents additional time to submit their response to the petition.
