NCCIA intensifies Pakistan crackdown with Karachi raids on alleged fraud call centres
Pakistan’s NCCIA says its Karachi office raided two alleged fraud call centres in PECHS Block 6, Tariq Road, found 73 individuals and seized a live CRM plus digital evidence. FIRs 92/2026 and 93/2026 registered; one operator arrested, two declared absconders. Follows the recent Lahore DHA Phase 6 raid (21 arrests).
Karachi: Pakistan’s National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) is keeping up a hard enforcement tempo. Its Karachi office has now hit two alleged fraud call centres in PECHS Block 6, Tariq Road, another strike in a run of back-to-back raids that are squeezing suspected scam floors across the country.
What was found
NCCIA said 73 individuals were found at the sites. Investigators seized a live CRM system containing customer and operational data, along with other digital evidence, for forensic examination, the kind of operational spine that can expose how victims were lined up, scripted and paid.
Legal action
The agency said FIRs No. 92/2026 and 93/2026 have been registered. One identified operator was arrested; two people were declared absconders. Further investigation is underway.
Back-to-back pressure
This Karachi double raid lands hard on the heels of NCCIA’s Lahore DHA Phase 6 action that netted 21 arrests, and sits inside a wider crackdown that has seen multiple operations in recent months, including cases involving foreigners. The message from successive city operations is blunt: alleged fraud call centres are being treated as organised crime floors, not one-off nuisance shops.
NCCIA still describes the Karachi sites as alleged fraud call centres; the FIRs and forensics will have to carry the proof. Until then, the operational pattern is clear, sustained, multi-city pressure against suspected cyber-enabled scam infrastructure in Pakistan.
