KARACHI: The National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) on Friday claimed to have recovered Rs2.5 million from a woman posing as a faith healer, who allegedly defrauded women online by offering spiritual treatment for their problems.

The NCCIA said a woman fell victim to financial fraud through a Facebook page titled “Qurani Wazaif,” operated by a woman posing as a peerni. It said the complainant had paid Rs2.5m through different bank accounts since November 2025. She later realised that she had been defrauded and approached the agency.=
