These raids took place in the federal capital, targeting individuals who approached potential victims through online dating platforms and gradually gained their trust. The suspects then encouraged victims to invest money through fraudulent online platforms promising financial returns. One of the cases involved a call center operating in Sector G-10, which was allegedly conducting unlawful cyber activities under the guise of a legitimate IT business. A significant number of women were also found among those allegedly working at this facility.

Further investigations are underway as part of these ongoing cases.",
