Pakistan: People loot computers, laptops during raid at fake Chinese-run call centre in Islamabad

Pakistan's Islamabad city witnessed an unexpected heist after officials raided a fake call centre in the city's Sector F-11.

Several video footages are now circulating across social media claiming that locals looted the expensive items present in the fake office including laptops and other gadgets.

Pakistan's Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) reportedly raided the support hub that was run by Chinese nationals in the city.

According to reports, the hub was used for fraudulent activities.

Locals rushed inside the hub with officials and video showed they were looting laptops, desktops, expansions and even furnitures from it.

At least 24 people, including foreign nationals, were reportedly arrested during the raid.

Several suspects managed to escape from the spot.

The hub was reportedly operating to scam foreign nationals.

A social media user, who shared the video on X, wrote: "Pakistanis have Looted Call Centre operated by Chinese in Islamabad; Hundreds of Laptop, electronic components along with furniture and cutlery stolen during holy month of Ramadan."

Social Medi Users React

Several social media users reacted to the video and posted their reactions in the comment section.

One of them wrote: "Pakistan is the only country where opening a business is riskier than investing in crypto."

Another said: "What a country! "

Shopping Mall Heist

Last year, a similar incident occurred in Karachi when a large number of people forcefully entered a newly opened shopping mall and stole clothing items and damaged properties.
