ISLAMABAD: Chairman Senate Functional Committee on Problem of Less Developed Area Mohammad Usman Kakar on Tuesday claimed that a fake bank account was being operated in his name.

`I have filed an application with the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) director general but so far no action has been taken against the suspect who has been operating the account,` he said during a meeting of the committee held at the parliament house.

The discussion was diverted towards fake bank accounts during a presentation by FIA.

The FIA informed the committee that so far Rs35 billion transactions have been identified in fake accounts of people.

When the Supreme Court was informed about the matter it constituted a Joint Investigation Team (JIT).

Mr Kakar said that every day hundreds of cases of cyber crime were reported in Pakistan but FIA hardly took any action to solve them and arrest the suspects.

The FIA informed the committee that the people who travel on others passports or stolen passports are called `hit cases`.

Official further said the computer automatically detected fake or stolen passports and then further action was taken as per nature of the case.

However, he informed the committee that human trafficking was mostly done by road or sea.

The Committee chairman asked that why police officer Rao Anwar [accused in Naqeebullah Mehsud murder case] was not arrested despite the fact that his passport was hit at the ECL at Islamabad Airport.

Committee was told that the FIA could only stop the persons on ECL, but could not arrest them unless they get orders of arrest.

Official claimed that though Cybercrime Wing was under the FIA, suspects could not be arrested without the court orders.
