Man arrested for Rs9.6 million credit card fraud by FIA in Lahore

The FIA has arrested a suspect in connection with a heavy financial fraud involving Rs9.6 million through the unauthorized use of a credit card. 

According to reports, the operation was carried out by the FIA’s Commercial Banking Circle in Lahore, which tracked down and detained Atiq‑ur‑Rehman in the Cantonment area of Lahore.

According to the agency, the accused took advantage of a technical flaw in the system of a private bank to repeatedly make unlawful charges and misuse the credit card over an extended period. 

Following his arrest, authorities registered an FIR and initiated further investigations into the fraud and how the security lapse was exploited.

FIA Lahore Director Captain Muhammad Ali Zia emphasized that the FIA would continue in its efforts to combat financial crimes and uphold law and order.
