Over the past month, the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) has apprehended 1,129 suspects and recovered Rs. 105.3 million in a nationwide operation targeting cybercrime, according to the agency's monthly performance report released on Sunday. The report, which covers the first month since Director General Syed Ali Nasir Rizvi assumed command, noted that the NCCIA fielded 5,176 complaints and initiated 4,491 investigations during this period.

Following the conclusion of these investigations, the agency filed charges against 272 individuals suspected of cybercrime involvement.

Director General Rizvi emphasized that safeguarding citizens, institutions, and digital infrastructure remains a top priority for the NCCIA. He reiterated the agency's zero-tolerance stance against cybercrime, stressing that as digital technology becomes increasingly integral to national life, protecting the digital realm is not only a legal obligation but a national imperative.
