Internet services in parts of Islamabad and Rawalpindi were disrupted after an optical fiber cable was cut, according to the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority. The disruption led to a brief panic but was quickly resolved as the fault was repaired. Meanwhile, Pakistan’s national cybercrime agency conducted a raid in Rawalpindi, targeting an illegal call center where 61 individuals were arrested. The suspects were accused of extorting foreign nationals through an illegal loan recovery scheme. The operation is part of a broader crackdown on illegal call centers in the region. Authorities have previously rounded up hundreds of suspects in similar operations, including foreign nationals. The incident highlights ongoing efforts by Pakistani authorities to combat cybercrime and illegal financial activities.
