The National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) has registered cases against three prominent TikTokers in Lahore — Iqra Kanwal, Nadeem Mubarak, and Hasnain Shah — over allegations of promoting illegal online trading applications.
According to NCCIA officials, the influencers were summoned for questioning three times but failed to appear before the agency. Authorities allege that the suspects misled the public by endorsing unauthorized apps and promising unrealistic profits.
Special teams have been formed to arrest the individuals, with charges including public deception and illegal financial activities.
Cybercrime experts say the move reflects an increased crackdown on social media influencers who exploit their platforms for fraudulent schemes. The NCCIA reiterated its commitment to protecting citizens from financial fraud, warning that strict action will be taken against anyone promoting illegal trading operations.
The cases are part of a broader nationwide campaign against cybercrimes, as authorities push to curb digital financial scams across Pakistan.
