Four men were arrested by the Federal Investigation Agency's (FIA) cybercrime wing on Friday for blackmailing girls over WhatsApp.

The families of the victims had filed a complaint with the FIA, after which an investigation was initiated by the agency.

During the course of the investigation, it was revealed that girls were being blackmailed and threatened in different localities of Lahore.

 

The accused were blackmailing the girls by using videos and other material, said a spokesperson from the law enforcement agency.

Those arrested were identified as Harris Imran, Talha Zahir, Fakhruddin and Abdul Rauf.

Man held for blackmailing 12-year-old girl with 'compromising' videos, photos

In July, a man was arrested in Karachi by the FIA for possessing ‘compromising’ footage of a 12-year-old girl.

The alleged culprit would take young girls’ mobile phone numbers from his friend who worked at a mobile top-up shop.

He would then befriend girls and then make pornographic videos and objectionable photos of them.

Later, Nabraz would proceed to blackmail the victims by using the inappropriate footage.
