Karachi (HRNW) – Haider Umrani was arrested during an operation in Gulistan‑e‑Jauhar. Sources at the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) say the suspect is allegedly involved in online fraud targeting overseas victims through an illegal call‑centre.
Sources further allege that Shahzeeb Sheikh and Zeeshan, also known as “Dhakan,” were associated with the same network. Reports claim Shahzeeb Sheikh has fled the country while Zeeshan (Dhakan) is a fugitive. Authorities have launched comprehensive investigations into alleged financial transactions, business links, and assets connected to the network.

Human rights angle
HRNW stresses that in cases of criminal allegations, independent, transparent and lawful investigations are essential, and every suspect must be afforded a fair hearing, legal defence, and the presumption of innocence. Investigations—particularly those with potential international dimensions—should adhere to international legal standards and ensure protection of victims’ rights.
