  "account": "The National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) has made 26 arrests, including 17 women, following two raids on call centers in Lahore, according to officials. One operation targeted a suspected honey-trap scheme involving women contacting men online and persuading them to engage in intimate video calls in exchange for money. During the raids, authorities seized 35 mobile phones and two laptops. The suspects allegedly used explicit conversations and video interactions to lure victims. In the second operation, the NCCIA targeted a call center in Allama Iqbal Town suspected of defrauding foreign nationals by offering mobile phones and communication packages. Victims were reportedly asked to pay for the items but never received them; instead, they were given excuses and revised delivery dates. Nine men were arrested in this operation, with 10 mobile phones and five laptops seized. Investigations are ongoing, and cases have been registered. The arrests do not confirm the suspects' guilt, as forensic examinations of the recovered devices are still being conducted to understand the alleged schemes.",
