The National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) in Rawalpindi has arrested three siblings involved in blackmailing women by secretly recording and storing inappropriate videos and images.

According to officials, the group — comprising two sisters and a brother — befriended unsuspecting women and introduced them to the male sibling. Once trust was established, the trio manipulated the victims into situations where compromising content could be secretly recorded.

This material was later used to threaten the victims and demand money.

On the complaint of one of the victims, Additional Director Mehmoodul Hassan Satti instructed Circle In-charge Nadeem Ahmed Khan to conduct a thorough inquiry.

After confirming the allegations, authorities registered a case under the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA) and other relevant laws.

The accused were apprehended using modern digital tracking and intelligence-based operations.

Officials recovered mobile phones from the suspects containing explicit videos, images, and chat records.

The recovered material is currently undergoing forensic analysis, and further investigations are underway to identify any additional suspects.
