ISLAMABAD: Significant progress has been made in the ongoing investigation into the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) corruption scandal, with authorities uncovering a large-scale fraud network allegedly operating through multiple call centres.
According to sources, raids were carried out at more than 20 call centres across Rawalpindi and Islamabad, during which extensive records were seized. Preliminary findings suggest that two directors, three deputy directors, and two inspectors from the agency were allegedly involved in the scam.
Investigators have retrieved crucial evidence, including call logs, financial transaction data, and email correspondence. The network reportedly misused citizens’ identification and financial information for illegal purposes. Authorities have also traced the funding channels linked to the implicated officers.
Intelligence footage and CCTV recordings have further strengthened the case, revealing the inner workings of the fraudulent operation. Law enforcement officials have successfully tracked both banking and mobile payment trails, uncovering evidence of funds being transferred abroad through formal banking systems.
A formal case against the accused officers is expected to be filed in the coming days as investigations move toward the prosecution phase.
NCCIA Officers Resign
Seven officers of the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) who were arrested in a corruption case have tendered their resignations.
According to sources, the Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE) Lahore had registered a case against eight NCCIA officers last week. Following the development, seven of them submitted their resignations, which have been forwarded to the Ministry of Interior for approval.
Reports indicate that the NCCIA sent the resignations to the Interior Ministry two days ago; however, the ministry has not yet approved them.
The arrested officers include an Additional Director, a Deputy Director, Assistant Directors, and Sub-Inspectors.
