The Urdu Post (Monitoring Desk): Pakistan's National Cyber ​​Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) claims that preliminary investigations have revealed that the alleged fraud committed by a group of Pakistani and Indian nationals on Canadian banks is likely to be worth millions of Canadian dollars.

On October 19, the NCCIA informed that three Pakistani nationals have been arrested from Lahore, the capital of Punjab, who are allegedly involved in 'synthetic identity fraud' along with four Canadian-based Indian nationals.
