The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Lahore Zone has arrested three suspects in separate operations, targeting copyright violations and the unauthorized provision of internet services, authorities said. Officials described the operations as coordinated efforts across multiple locations to curb piracy and illegal connectivity schemes, underscoring the agency’s focus on digital crime.
In line with FIA Cracks Down on Copyright Violations, Illegal Internet Operations in Lahore, officials said the arrests demonstrate the agency’s resolve, with investigations continuing and more details expected to be released by authorities.
In the first raid, FIA Cracks Down on Copyright Violations, Illegal Internet Operations in Lahore, officials arrested Waheed Gul and Muhammad Amin Saleem for allegedly manufacturing and selling counterfeit products carrying the branding of a registered company without legal authorization.
Investigators recovered a substantial quantity of counterfeit goods from the premises, according to the FIA spokesperson.
In a separate operation, the agency arrested Fazal Din, who was allegedly operating an unauthorized internet service. Investigators described the service as unlicensed and outside regulatory approval, noting that the setup included connections not sanctioned by authorities. The case highlights ongoing enforcement against illicit online activity.
During the raid, technical equipment and network hardware used to distribute illegal connections were seized. This enforcement aligns with FIA Cracks Down on Copyright Violations, Illegal Internet Operations in Lahore. The seized gear included routers, switches, and related components located at the operation site, and investigators will examine logs to trace service usage and customer links.
A technical team from the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) assisted FIA officials in the operation, while a case was registered under the Pakistan Telecommunication Act.
Further investigations into the cases are under way, authorities said.
