FIA Crackdown in Karachi & Gujranwala-More Arrest on Illegal Mobile Registration

It is also reported that PTA and FIA are also taking other preventative measures against the illegal IMEI registration.

These steps are being taken against the miscreants that involved in stealing the passport information in a systematic way and activating the smuggled phones by using the stolen passport data or cloning the mobile phones.

PTA and FIA have received complaints that when they try to register their phone via PTA’s legitimate process, they get the message that your passport has already been used and a request to pay the tax.

FIA Cyber crime circle has last week arrested smuggling groups involved in illegal activities of mobile registration from Karachi and Gujranwala.

In Karachi, the group included a travel agent and shopkeepers where the travel agent was found stealing passport information of overseas Pakistani and this was sold to mobile shopkeepers who used the data for registering the phones against them.

It is reported that PTA has also provided a list of 1326 people, whose passport data has been used in this immoral activity.

In Gujranwala, a smugglers group has also been arrested. The group consisted of five people that have stolen passport information and used the data to register the smuggled smartphones.

Almost 5000 passports information of Umrah performers was being illegally used. Media reports disclosed that travel agent and shopkeepers were both involved in this criminal activity.

The step taken FIA Cybercrime circle is appreciable by the mobile importers association who says that such black sheep needs to be identified and brought to task to protect consumers and interest of the legal importers. The illegal imports the association said should be discouraged by all as it is making a major dent in the country import revenues and protect consumer rights.

The Senate Committee IT in its meeting last week has also stressed upon FBR and FIA to check the gangs involved in passport identity theft for registration.

They asked to take further steps in improving the process for providing convenience to the consumers.

Law enforcement experts are of the opinion that illegal phones that used to come without any registration system are a major source of criminal activities and such crackdown are very essential.

Any leniency shown to such gangs could no doubt be harmful to the national interest of the country.
