In recent months, the cyber cell has noticed a resurgence in loan app cases. What’s surprising for the police is the shift in origins—previously traced to Nepal, now a majority of these calls originate from Pakistan. Following a series of mid-day reports, the Nepal police successfully dismantled an entire network of illegal call centres. 

The cyber cell claims to have tracked several IP addresses associated with these recent loan app cases, raising concerns among law enforcement. There’s apprehension about the possibility of Chinese cyber criminals relocating to Pakistan, potentially reviving one of the largest cyber 
fraud schemes.
