Cybercrime in Pakistan is governed by the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act 2016 (PECA). Complaints are now investigated by the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA), which took over this work from the FIA's Cyber Crime Wing. Whether you have been harassed, blackmailed or defrauded online, or you have received a notice yourself, Saleem & Saleem's Advocates High Court handle the matter from the first complaint to the final court order.
We help you preserve evidence, draft a complete complaint, follow it up with the investigating officer and pursue the case in court. See our step-by-step guide on how to file a cybercrime complaint in Pakistan.
An NCCIA notice or inquiry needs a careful response. We review the allegation and the digital evidence, prepare your reply, attend proceedings with you and, where arrest is a risk, apply for protective bail. If a case is registered we defend you at trial and, in exceptional cases, challenge proceedings that disclose no offence before the High Court.
Complaints are filed with the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency, online or in person. Collect your evidence first: screenshots showing dates and profile links, chat exports and any payment records.
Often, yes. Content can be reported to the platform and the regulator, and a court or the investigating agency can order removal as part of the case. Acting quickly limits the damage.
Do not ignore it, and do not attend without advice. Speak to a lawyer, gather your documents and devices, and prepare a written reply. Where arrest is a risk, protective bail can be sought.
A complaint can still be filed in Pakistan. Platform reporting and cross-border cooperation take longer, so preserving evidence early matters even more.
