Malaysian held in Pakistan scam call centre raid returns home

A Malaysian man detained in a Pakistani raid on a scam call centre has returned home safely, according to Bukit Aman CCID director Rusdi Isa. Investigations revealed the 32-year-old man had no connection to the syndicate under investigation by Pakistani authorities. The CCID will record a statement from the man upon his return to Malaysia, as previously reported by Inspector-General of Police Khalid Ismail, who dispatched a special team to Pakistan regarding the detention of Malaysians suspected of involvement in an online scam syndicate. However, only the detained man was among the 258 foreign nationals apprehended during the raid.
