The National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) has arrested 26 suspects, including 17 women, during a crackdown on alleged cyber fraud and honey-trap call centres. Authorities conducted raids against suspected networks involved in deceptive online activities and fraudulent schemes.
According to officials, investigators recovered electronic devices and other material during the operations. The evidence will help authorities examine the alleged activities and determine the individual roles of those arrested.
Suspects Face Cyber Fraud Allegations
The suspects allegedly operated call centres that used deceptive methods to target victims. Investigators are examining whether the networks used social media, online communication platforms and other digital channels to establish contact with potential victims.
The alleged honey-trap operations reportedly involved building relationships with targets before attempting to obtain money or sensitive information. Meanwhile, authorities are continuing to examine digital evidence recovered from the premises.
The arrests form part of a broader crackdown against illegal call centres operating across Pakistan. The NCCIA has increased action against networks suspected of exploiting digital platforms for financial crimes and other unlawful activities.
NCCIA Intensifies Crackdown on Networks
Officials said the agency will continue investigating individuals and organisations suspected of involvement in cyber-enabled fraud. Authorities are also examining seized devices and data to identify additional suspects and determine whether the arrested individuals operated as part of larger networks.
The latest action highlights growing concerns over the misuse of technology for fraudulent activities. Therefore, authorities have urged citizens to remain cautious when communicating with unknown individuals online and avoid sharing personal or financial information.
The NCCIA has maintained that its operations aim to disrupt illegal cyber activities and hold those responsible accountable under the law. Further legal action will follow as investigators complete their inquiries into the alleged fraud networks.
