Blackmailer remanded to NCCIA custody

A judicial magistrate east has remanded a man, Shoaib Nawaz Afridi, in the custody of the NCCIA for three days in a case involving the alleged blackmail of a woman.

The investigating officer told the court that the woman had lodged a cybercrime complaint against the suspect, alleging that he had befriended her under the pretext of dealing in cars. The suspect allegedly invited the woman to a private hotel, where he took her pictures and videos without her consent. He subsequently shared the material with her friends on Snapchat and allegedly used it to blackmail her and pressure her to meet again.
