KARACHI: The Pakistan Rangers, Sindh, on Friday claimed to have busted a gang in Gulshan-i-Iqbal, which was allegedly involved in ‘cyber crime’ and ‘facilitated’ illegal supply of eight million euros and one million dollars.

A paramilitary force official said that they had taken into custody four suspects identified as Mohammed Javed Khan, Salahuddin, Shahnawaz Husain Siddiqi and Syed Zulfiqar Ali Shah who were running a network to help hackers.

“This network was involved in ATM fraud through internet, hacking of different bank accounts and fake credit cards and so far they had transferred eight million Euros and one million US dollars from banks all over the world,” the Rangers said in a statement.

The held suspects were being handed over to the police for further legal action.
