Deportations Follow Call Centre Raid
The latest action takes the total number of foreign nationals deported to at least 34. Earlier, authorities deported 14 Vietnamese nationals connected with the same investigation.
Meanwhile, the FIA and National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) arrested 275 foreign nationals. Officers conducted the joint raid at an illegal call centre in Islamabad’s I-10 sector.According to officials, the centre allegedly produced and sold indecent content. Management reportedly recruited foreign men and women for these activities. Authorities are now examining the centre’s operations and the roles of those involved.
Agencies Continue Investigation
The FIA registered a case under the Foreign Act against the suspects. At the same time, the NCCIA opened a separate case under the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act.Officials said the foreign nationals entered Pakistan on visit or business visas. However, investigators found that some had allegedly breached the conditions of their stay.
Therefore, authorities moved against those who violated Pakistan’s immigration rules. They also placed the deported individuals on the blacklist. As a result, the group cannot legally return to Pakistan.The investigation remains underway as authorities examine the alleged activities at the centre. In addition, officials are reviewing possible violations linked to foreign workers and their visas.
Authorities may take further action after completing the investigation. The case highlights growing scrutiny of foreign nationals working through questionable business operations in Pakistan.Officials have not yet announced further arrests or deportations. However, investigators continue to collect evidence and examine the suspects’ activities.
