Responding to a motion moved by Senator Mushtaq Ahmed Khan regarding the performance of the Cybercrime wing of the FIA, the minister of state said the government allocated Rs868 million to check electronic crimes in the country.
Ali Muhammad Khan said at present 15 main offices dealing with Cybercrime are operating throughout the country. He agreed with the lawmakers to establish Cybercrime offices at district levels. He also welcomed suggestions to recruit female staff in the FIA’s Cyber Crime Wing so that women can approach them with ease for redressal of their complaints.
