A 17-year-old teenager from Bahawalpur has been sent to jail for a 14-day judicial remand in an alleged attempt to poison his father, following his interest in artificial intelligence (AI), according to the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA). The suspect, a second-year student, sought AI guidance on how to administer a poison capable of causing his father's death without detection.
The teenager had developed an interest in chemistry after watching the American crime drama 'Breaking Bad'. The NCCIA arrested him on September 23 after receiving information about the case through an automated system. The magistrate mentioned that the father had no objection to the case and was the suspect's only son. The NCCIA will now submit a charge-sheet within the stipulated time.
