The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) arrested a reader who was harassing and blackmailing a minor girl in Karachi and recovered obscene videos and pictures of the girl from her phone. This is the first case of Cyber Crime Circle in 2021.
According to the FIA Cyber Crime Circle, a woman complained that she had appointed a Qari named Abdul Qadeem to teach her daughter the Holy Quran at home. Shortly afterwards, the girl told her mother that Qari Abdul Qadeem, while reciting the Qur'an, made obscene gestures with her and took pictures and videos of her.
The girl further said that the accused Qari Abdul Qadeem was blackmailing her on the basis of these photos and videos and demanding illegal demands and money. The accused then sent the photos and videos of the girl to her mother through WhatsApp and threatened to viralize the photos and videos of the girl on social media if her demands were not met.
The FIA first, with the help of a psychiatrist, rescued the girl from depression and then arrested Qari Abdul Qadeem, a raid marker at a house in Gulshan-e-Iqbal. Pictures and videos of the girl were also recovered from the accused's smartphone.
After obtaining approval from the competent authority, a formal raid was carried out on Gulshan-e-Iqbal in Karachi by a raid team. The raiding party stopped Qari Abdul Qadeem on the spot. Personal search conducted. The FIA has registered the first case of 2021 against the accused under the provisions of cyber crime.
