Stubborn cybercriminal arrested by FIA

LAHORE/Multan: The Federal Investigation Agency’s (FIA) Cybercrime Circle, Multan, arrested M Shehzad, infamously known as ‘Loha Paar’, (stubborn) for his alleged involvement in a string of cybercrime activities, including online harassment and exploitation.

His arrest was linked to a particularly disturbing incident in Lahore, where a group of individuals made obscene comments about a fake sexual assault at a private college. Shehzad, allegedly the mastermind, mocked the incident by producing and distributing videos online. His notoriety grew further with the Lahore incident, where he and his group reportedly exploited the tragedy for online fame, sparking widespread outrage on social media platforms. During the raid, FIA officials recovered Shehzad’s mobile phone, which revealed disturbing evidence, including compromising videos, TikTok accounts used for flaring hate, and messages promoting the exploitation of women.
