The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has recovered Rs425.48 million in cash and assets from officials of the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) in a major corruption case, according to a report submitted to the Senate Standing Committee on Information Technology.

In the Lahore case, cash and assets were seized from eight NCCIA officials. The highest recovery.Rs112.95 million.was made from Additional Director Chaudhry Sarfraz. Other recoveries were made from deputy and assistant directors, junior officials, and a private individual.

The FIA Anti-Corruption Circle Lahore registered FIR No. 36/2025 against NCCIA officials. The case includes allegations of accepting bribes from the wife of YouTuber “Ducky Bhai” in exchange for facilitation in a cybercrime matter. Investigations suggest the incident reflects deep-rooted corruption within NCCIA Lahore, including a structured monthly bribery network.

According to investigators, illegal payments were routinely collected from call centers, aggregator companies, and accused individuals. Allegations have also emerged that bribes were passed on to senior authorities, while large sums were paid for lucrative postings.

In a separate Rawalpindi case, officials are accused of taking Rs30 billion in bribes from illegal call centers, including those operating in Bahria Town. However, only Rs1.5 million has been recovered so far. Bank accounts have been frozen, properties scrutinized, mobile phones sent for forensic analysis, and absconders declared proclaimed offenders.
