In a significant development in the Mustafa Amir murder case, the FIA Cyber Crime Circle has registered a case against the suspect, Armaghan, for operating an illegal call centre in Karachi’s upscale Defence area since 2018.

According to the FIA, Armaghan was running the call centre to extract sensitive banking information from citizens while posing as a representative of an international organisation. The stolen data, including banking and credit card details, was reportedly funnelled into online accounts, including cryptocurrency wallets linked to Armaghan.

Investigations revealed that the siphoned funds were later transferred to local bank accounts belonging to Armaghan’s associates, identified as Abdul Rahim and Rahim Bakhsh.

The FIA stated that irrefutable evidence of these illegal activities was found during the forensic analysis of 63 laptops provided by the Anti-Violent Crime Cell (AVCC). The Cyber Crime Circle added that the operations were highly organised, with Armaghan personally overseeing all activities.
