The National Cyber Crimes Investigation Authority (NCCIA) has arrested two suspects in Pakpattan for impersonating a senior police officer and defrauding a citizen of a large sum of money.
According to an NCCIA spokesperson, a raid was conducted at the Pakpattan bus terminal, where two individuals posing as SSPs were taken into custody. The suspects, identified as Waqas Ali and Saadi Ahmed, allegedly impersonated SSP Sohail Zahir to deceive a citizen.
Using WhatsApp, the accused shared misleading information and managed to defraud the victim of Rs125,000. Authorities confirmed that a case has been registered at the Cyber Crime Circle Islamabad.
An NCCIA team led by Sub-Inspector Fahad Altaf is currently carrying out further investigations into the matter.
