Pakistan`s Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has started a crackdown on people living abroad who are allegedly maligning national security institutions through social media platforms. The FIA has approached the International Criminal Police Organisation (Interpol) to assist in arresting and extraditing the critics living in foreign jurisdictions, Pakistan-based Daily Times reported.

The FIA has identified 361 social media accounts associated with such activities and has taken the decision to arrest the people behind them, Daily Times reported citing a private channel. By coordinating its efforts with Interpol, the FIA aims to track the accounts of the accused and lodge cases against them under the cybercrime act.
