Mohammad Rizwan to Appear Before NCCIA Amid Unclear Cybercrime InvestigationPreviousNext

Pakistan wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan has been instructed by the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) to appear on October 2 amid an ongoing probe related to his mobile phone seized in London. The investigation involves possible violations of the Pakistan Electronic Crimes Act (PECA) 2016, though specific charges remain unclear. Rizwan has questioned inconsistencies in the agency's explanations, initially linked to betting and gambling but later citing PECA provisions. He has also requested the return of his phone and clarity on the allegations.
