According to the CIA Police, the suspects were apprehended in coordinated raids across Malir, Surjani, New Karachi, and Gulshan areas.
The arrested individuals were identified as Mubeen Khan, Osama, Bilal, and Abdul Razzaq. Investigators revealed that Mubeen Khan, a final-year student at Sindh Madressatul Islam, allegedly managed 13 online groups comprising around 13,000 student members.
Police said the network extorted large sums of money from students by promising leaked examination papers a night before exams. Payments were reportedly collected through various online banking channels.
Authorities further disclosed that the group had developed sophisticated methods, including arranging paper-solving sessions at students’ homes and using secret locations near examination centres to facilitate cheating.
Officials stated that the suspects were charging up to Rs40,000 per student for providing illegal assistance.
Further investigations are underway to identify additional members and dismantle the wider network.
