The National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) Islamabad has recovered Rs2.94 million and returned it to a woman who allegedly lost Rs9.5 million in an online financial fraud case, an agency official said. Efforts to recover the rest of the money are still under way.
The recovery was made during an investigation supervised by Inspector Waqar Masih Ghouri, according to the official. The woman reported a financial loss of Rs9.5 million in the alleged fraud, which prompted the NCCIA to open an inquiry into the matter. The NCCIA is the federal body that investigates cybercrime and online fraud complaints.
What has been recovered so far
The official said the Rs2.94 million had been handed over to the complainant. Further investigation is under way to trace the remaining amount and to determine the involvement of those responsible. The fraud remains an allegation under investigation.
Cases of this kind usually involve money moved out of a victim's account through online channels. Recovering funds often depends on how quickly the transactions can be traced, which is why prompt complaints matter.
The woman's response
The woman expressed satisfaction at getting back part of her money. She thanked NCCIA Islamabad for its prompt action and cooperation, and praised the investigation team for its help during the recovery process. She said she hoped the remaining money would also be recovered.
What happens next
Investigators are continuing to trace the balance and to determine who was involved. The case remains open while that work goes on.
