FIA has just arrested a blackmailer who found a way to create multiple whatsapp accounts on the same phone and thereafter used this to blackmail girls. A complaint was made by Tariq to the cyber crime unit in Karachi, as his daughter was one of those blackmailed by Fahad Bari, a 29-year old, accused of this act.
According to the daughter,
Someone is harassing and blackmailing me using a Facebook account in my name and is displaying my pictures
It took a month and half to trace the suspect after which cyber crime official stated
Using technical resources, we found that a single person is using all the fake IDs
The suspect worked at a private call center in DHA’S TAUHEED commercial area. The victim previously attended a university with the suspect and that is where it all began.

The suspect confessed to the crime, stating that it was out of revenge:
She always chatted with others and always ignored me. Then, after university, I started doing a job and she continued her studies. I decided to blackmail her to take revenge. As she had added me on Facebook, I took more than 60 of her pictures and made three different Facebook IDs using her name and pictures depicting her as a ‘call girl’.
The FIA officer explained that the suspect would have to answer more questions to clarify the situation and is currently on remand.
