October 13, 2026 (MLN): The National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) is stepping up efforts to address the misuse of artificial intelligence (AI) and digital platforms for unlawful activities, with its Islamabad Circle registering a case involving alleged threats to kill a woman.

An NCCIA official said on Tuesday that the case was registered after an inquiry into allegations that a man threatened to kill his former female friend and attempted to obtain information about methods of murder through AI and online platforms.

According to the First Information Report (FIR), the suspect allegedly sought information and ideas related to committing murder. The allegations remain under investigation, and the facts will be established through the legal process.

The case highlights concerns about the potential use of AI tools and digital communication platforms to facilitate threats, intimidation and other criminal activities.

The NCCIA stressed that digital platforms and AI applications must be used responsibly and should not be exploited to threaten individuals, spread fear or support unlawful acts.

The official said the agency was working to tackle emerging cybercrime threats, protect citizens from the misuse of digital technologies and take action against those found responsible in accordance with the law.

He added that investigations would continue based on available evidence and applicable legal procedures.
