Cybercrime Unit Arrests CSP Officer Over Harassment of Female ASP
A case has been registered under PECA after the female ASP complained of online harassment, threats and character assassination, police sources said.
Islamabad – (Staff Reporter/Web Desk) – The cybercrime unit has arrested a Civil Service of Pakistan (CSP) officer in Islamabad over allegations of harassing and threatening a female assistant superintendent of police (ASP), according to police sources.
The case was registered after the female ASP filed a complaint. She alleged that she was harassed, threatened and defamed on social media.
Sources said the case was registered under the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA) and Section 109. Police have named two people in the case.
One of the suspects was arrested in Islamabad. Sources said he is also a CSP officer.
The second person named in the case is Wajahat. Police sources said both officers are currently posted in Islamabad.
According to the sources, the suspects targeted the female ASP through social media. They allegedly ran a campaign of character assassination against her.
The complaint also says the suspects sent threatening messages to the female officer’s family. This made the matter more serious for the investigators.
Police sources said the cybercrime unit acted after the complaint reached them. The unit then arrested one of the suspects in the federal capital.
The case has drawn attention because both the complainant and the suspects belong to the civil services. Many people are now following the matter closely.
Harassment on social media has become a growing concern in Pakistan. Victims often face abusive posts, false claims and threats, and women are targeted more often.
PECA allows authorities to act against people accused of such online offences. It covers cases like harassment, defamation and threats made through digital platforms.
Investigators are expected to examine the social media accounts and messages linked to the case. They may also check the digital record of the alleged threats sent to the ASP’s family.
Police sources did not share more details about the accounts or messages involved. They said the investigation is still going on.
It is important to note that these are allegations at this stage. The arrested officer and the other person named in the case are presumed innocent until a court decides otherwise.
The suspect’s version of events has not yet been reported. Any court proceedings or official statement from the suspects will be important to understand the full picture.
The arrest has also started a wider debate about online safety for women in public service. Many say female officers face the same abuse online as other women.
Legal experts often say that victims should report such cases quickly. They advise saving screenshots, messages and links as evidence.
Citizens can report online harassment and threats to the cybercrime unit. Prompt reporting can help investigators trace the people responsible.
For now, the case is in the early stage of investigation. Police say more details will come once the probe moves forward.
Further updates are expected as the cybercrime unit continues its inquiry into the alleged harassment and threats against the female ASP.
