Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) and Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) conducted a joint raid at Gulshan-e-Iqbal Karachi which resulted in confiscation of functional illegal gateway telephone setup. The illegal setup consisted of four GSM Gateways, Tellulars, Switches, Routers and number of SIMs of different operators. During the raid one person was apprehended.
This action was a result of efforts of highly technical professionals
and dedicated workers of PTA who check and monitor the illegal call
termination business on twenty four hours basis and adopt different
procedures and processes to apprehend persons involved in the
activity, not only to safeguard the national exchequer but also to
ensure severe punishment as per the law.
Chairman PTA, Dr. Mohammed Yaseen appreciated the joint efforts of PTA
and FIA teams and also warned all those involved in the illegal
telecom business to stop their activities, otherwise PTA shall take
strict action against them as per the law.
