Karachi — The National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) has launched a money laundering investigation against the owners and associates of an illegal call centre raided in Karachi’s Gulshan-e-Iqbal area.
According to Beyond Time News, investigators have identified Murtaza and Dhani as the principal owners. Records linked to their associates and alleged frontmen have also been secured.
Financial Trail Being Investigated
Authorities are tracing how funds generated through the call centre were transferred and used. The NCCIA’s anti-money laundering unit is actively involved and has sought details of luxury vehicles and real estate linked to the accused.
Investigators believe the group earned millions of rupees and channelled the proceeds into various businesses. Foreign transactions allegedly connected to the suspects are also under review.
Inside the Scam
The suspects allegedly impersonated bank officials and representatives of the Data Settlement Agency to extract sensitive financial information from victims. Sophisticated software and financial data were seized during the raid.
Background
The probe follows a raid conducted in March on a call centre operating on Shahrah-e-Faisal, where six suspects were arrested — including ringleader Nadir and partners Afaq and Ali Raza. The operation exposed a well-organised fraud network, leading to the broader investigation now underway.
