Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) in coordination with the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), carried out two successful raids in Etihad Park Chungi Amer Sidhu, Lahore, and Tehsil Chowk Sarwar Shaheed, District Kot Addu, against illegal internet service providers, operating without a valid license from PTA.
During the raids, operational internet setups and allied equipment were confiscated, said a news release.
Three persons were arrested by FIA (one in Lahore and two in Kot Addu). The culprits have been taken into custody for further investigation.
These actions are crucial in preventing tax evasion and revenue misreporting, thus curtailing the loss to the national exchequer.—APP
