ISLAMABAD \u2013 A senior officer from the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) was abducted by armed assailants in Islamabad.<\/p>\n

The incident took place on October 14 when Deputy Directed Muhammad Usman was abducted between 7:00 and 8:00 PM near Zara Heights parking basement.<\/p>\n

Witnesses and CCTV footage show that four armed men stopped Usman\u2019s car, forced him out, and took him away. The footage, which captures the moments of the abduction, also shows a white Corolla vehicle linked to the perpetrators.<\/p>\n

Following a complaint from the officer\u2019s wife, a case has been registered at Shams Colony Police Station.<\/p>\n

However, as of now, no significant progress has been made in the investigation. Police continue to explore leads but have not yet identified the assailants.<\/p>\n

The incident has raised concerns over the safety of law enforcement officers and officials in the capital, particularly those dealing with sensitive cyber crimes.<\/p>\n
