2025: cybercrime watchdog filed 2,200 cases

The National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA), in its bid to make Pakistan a safe digital country, registered more than 2,200 cases and arrested over 2,900 suspects during 2025 as part of nationwide operations against cybercrime and digital fraud.

NCCIA spokesman on Tuesday said 774 challans were submitted to courts during the year, while recoveries amounting to Rs461 million were made in financial fraud cases.

He said the Agency's main objective was to restore public trust in digital systems and build a secure digital ecosystem. "Our vision is clear: every Pakistani should be able to use the internet and modern technology without fear," he said.
