A court in Islamabad has granted a two-day physical remand for five foreign citizens accused of running an illicit call center. The suspects, presented by the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA), were apprehended during a raid on a facility in the G-10 sector. The NCCIA alleges the center served as a hub for fraudulent online operations.
The prosecution argued that the individuals were part of a structured network perpetrating online swindles through illicit websites. They asserted that further questioning was crucial to unravel the full scope of the criminal enterprise. The court granted the remand, ordering the suspects to reappear on July 16.
NCCIA officials confirmed that more than 60 Pakistani citizens were employed at the unlawful operation. A representative for the agency stated that legal measures would be taken against anyone who aided or shielded the accused. Inquiries continue as authorities work to dismantle the network and identify any local accomplices.
