Mohammad Rizwan Seeks Return of Phone and Details from Pakistan Cybercrime AgencyPreviousNext

Pakistan cricketer Mohammad Rizwan has formally requested the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) to return his mobile phone, seized on August 31 during an inquiry linked to alleged dressing room leaks and betting. Rizwan, who provided the phone password and cooperated with the investigation, has sought written details of the specific allegations and clarity on further proceedings. The Lahore High Court directed him to cooperate while protecting him from harassment, but Rizwan says the agency has not communicated clearly or returned his device nearly four weeks later.
