The raid happened at the house of Tasheen Awan, who used to be the head of the city’s power department. He has not been arrested yet.
A total of 149 people were arrested. This includes 78 Pakistanis, 48 Chinese, and others from Nigeria, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Zimbabwe, and Myanmar. Among them, 18 were women.
The police report said the scammers first gave people small profits to gain their trust. Then, they convinced them to invest more money.
The group used WhatsApp to run chat groups where they gave small tasks, like subscribing to TikTok and YouTube channels. Later, they moved victims to Telegram for bigger tasks that needed more money.
