KARACHI: Cybercrime wing of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) on Thursday arrested a woman after it received a complaint blaming her for allegedly harassing and blackmailing a man in Karachi, ARY NEWS reported.

The cybercrime wing arrested the female school teacher and recovered the obscene material used for blackmailing the person besides also taking into possession SIMs and other material.


The woman allegedly blackmailed him over refusing a marriage proposal, the FIA said claiming that she was also involved in the similar acts of harassment and blackmailing previously.

“The accused has also blackmailed the victim’s relative earlier through his private videos,” the FIA said.

The investigators said that they had also recovered material used to blackmail the person from the complainant’s mobile phone and have started a thorough probe into the matter.

In yet another similar nature of the crime, however, it did not include any woman’s involvement, four groups allegedly involved in molesting young boys after entrapping them via social media ads for jobs have been arrested by the Federal Investigation Agency on September 22.

The cyber watchdog recovered evidence from the detained mobile phones of the suspects which further substantiated their notorious activities of blackmailing.
