ISLAMABAD: Federal Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has declared a zero-tolerance policy against cybercrime, asserting that perpetrators operating from anywhere in the world will be brought under the ambit of the law.
Speaking at a high-level security review meeting in the federal capital, the minister emphasized that technological barriers and geographical distances will no longer shield digital offenders from accountability.
The interior minister highlighted the escalating threat landscape of digital fraud, harassment, and state-targeted cyberattacks, stressing the urgent need for enhanced institutional coordination.
He directed the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and relevant cybersecurity wings to upgrade their technical capabilities and intelligence-sharing mechanisms with international partners to track down fugitives and transnational syndicates.
The resolute stance comes amid a surge in digital crimes targeting citizens, financial institutions, and state infrastructure within Pakistan.
Experts view the interior chief’s directive as a crucial step toward restoring public confidence in digital platforms and securing the nation’s critical infrastructure. Strengthening the legal framework and equipping law enforcement agencies with advanced forensics remain central to curbing the menace effectively.
Authorities are slated to roll out a series of stringent policy measures and specialized training programs for investigators in the coming weeks.
The government aims to establish dedicated fast-track cyber courts to expedite pending cases and ensure swift trials for convicted digital predators, signaling a decisive shift in the state’s approach to cyber governance.
