On August 25, 2026, the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) in Rawalpindi dismantled an illegal call center allegedly involved in online financial fraud, arresting 28 individuals. Among the suspects, 24 were men and four were women, all Pakistani employees. Law enforcement seized computers, mobile phones, and other digital devices connected to the alleged fraudulent activities.
Authorities initiated a First Information Report (FIR) under Sections 14 of the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA) 2016, and multiple provisions of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC). Initial findings revealed the network targeted victims via deceptive e-commerce platforms and fraudulent investment opportunities. Suspects allegedly lured victims through Telegram channels and fake female profiles on Facebook, promising substantial returns.
A Chinese national was identified as the alleged mastermind, who subsequently went into hiding after previous law enforcement actions. The investigation into the operation is ongoing.
