The National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency stated on Monday that making fraudulent social media accounts for women, sharing their private information or photographs, and carrying out online blackmail constitute illegal cyber offenses.

Through a social media announcement, the organization explained that leaking private photos, blackmailing women, and setting up fake profiles violate the law. Citizens were encouraged by the agency to speak out against online tormentors and submit grievances alongside proper proof.

Maintaining a secure online environment in Pakistan is a collective duty, according to the NCCIA. The public received instructions to use the 1799 helpline for reporting cyber attacks, fraudulent profiles, unauthorized photo usage, and extortion, while victims were urged to lodge formal reports.

In a separate incident last week, law enforcement in Mirpur detained an individual accused of posting a video of a female on TikTok via a fraudulent profile without her approval within Azad Jammu and Kashmir.

A police representative stated that the incident emerged on September 25, 2026, when the affected relative filed a report with SSP Mirpur Khurram Iqbal. The relatives explained that an unknown person filmed their daughter while she journeyed to an educational academy alongside her brother, subsequently posting the footage on TikTok uninvited, creating worries regarding her safety and standing.

SSP Iqbal instructed the Mirpur Cyber Crime Unit to pursue an inquiry through advanced technical tools and initiate legal proceedings. Investigators tracked down the fraudulent TikTok profile and named the accused as Essa, son of Afzal, living in Bang Rarah within Islamgarh tehsil of Mirpur district.

Islamgarh SHO Umair Rasheed along with an officers team captured the individual. The representative noted that ongoing inquiries continue to gather facts and review every detail of the matter.

Reports indicated yesterday that the NCCIA detained 1,129 individuals and retrieved Rs105.3 million for affected parties during the initial month under Director General Syed Ali Nasir Rizvi.

Data from an agency performance summary showed that the NCCIA accepted 5,176 citizen grievances during this timeframe. Out of these submissions, 4,491 turned into formal inquiry files.

Following the conclusion of these investigations, authorities opened 272 cases against individuals suspected of digital offenses. The organization executed a countrywide operation resulting in the detentions, and the retrieved Rs105.3 million went back to the affected persons.

Director General Rizvi stated that the agency strives to guarantee the digital safety of residents. He mentioned that the NCCIA keeps enforcing a strict zero-tolerance approach toward digital offenses.

The statistics came from the organization representative as part of the monthly update.
