Online financial fraud has become rampant in many cities in Pakistan, especially in Karachi. As the accused people in such incidents live in remote areas, FIA Cybercrime Wing is facing difficulties in arresting them. 

FIA Cyber ​​Crime Wing South Director Operations Asim Khan Qaimkhani said that there is a 100 per cent action rate in such complaints, but there are difficulties in taking action regarding online fraud. Qaimkhani said that the number of complaints in FIA Cybercrime Reporting Center Karachi was more than 1300 in February. He said that 59 of these complaints were formally registered and others were redressed.

According to Qaimkhani, cases have also been registered on 3 complaints while action is being taken on other complaints. Out of 206 complaints in the Hyderabad Reporting Center, 10 have been registered while a case has been registered on one and the process is ongoing on others. He said that out of 134 complaints received at the Sukkur Reporting Centre, 10 were registered, cases were registered against 3, while one was disposed of and others were under process. According to Qaimkhani, during the operation, it has come to light that online financial fraud is mostly being done in Punjab or rural areas of the country and that’s why the cyber crime wing of FIA faces difficulties in operations.
