Islamabad call centre raid: 154 arrested over loan app blackmail

A loan app scam run from an unregistered Islamabad call centre used phone data to pressure borrowers, and the FIR says the operation recovered money for several foreign apps.

The agency says 154 people were taken into custody at an unregistered Islamabad call centre.
