The cybercrime wing of Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has acted on an information against an alleged gang creating immoral videos in Pakistan for an Indian-origin vulgar website.
The anti cybercrime watchdog of FIA raided a flat in Gulshan e Iqbal Town of Karachi’s District East and detained the prime suspect allegedly involved in running the immoral website in Pakistan.
Deputy Director of cybercrime wing claimed that they arrested prime suspect Fazal Qadir in the case and held at least nine electronic devices, among other evidence, used for alleged immoral activities. The case has been filed with police after the raid and arrest for further probe, the authority confirmed.
From the devices detained in the raid, the authority confirmed it found immoral videos and data of girls and stated that it was used to be uploaded on an Indian-origin website for the fulfilment of compromised purposes in Pakistan.
The data and videos of a number of girls, according to the FIA cybercrime wing, were released over an app to connect them with the ‘clients’ for immoral activities. The girls, according to FIA, would make their immoral videos or go on live video calls to collect ‘diamonds’ (virtual currency) from their audience across the world.
The income of these girls was calculated based on the number of diamonds they could collect from their clients in their interactions.
FIA said it also seized the evidence that suggested some of the girls in this case were forced or blackmailed into doing this for the app.
The girls would be approached via newspaper ads for jobs and once they were in the office, they were either convinced and enticed to earn easy money with such content or they were blackmailed and forced, FIA confirmed.
On the collection of 400,000 diamonds, girls were entitled to Rs7000, the cybercrime wing said.
