ISLAMABAD: The National Counter-Terrorism Authority (Nacta) has said that eight people have been arrested for giving false information to anti-terror body on its free toll number of 1717.
Talking to BBC, Nacta Spokesman Usman Ghani said that these men are being proceeded against under the Telephone and Telegraph Act of 1885 and Nacta laws.
He said in the first 20 days of last month, some 20,000 false information calls were given to Nacta about terrorism. He said as a first step, the numbers from which false calls are made are blocked and if the calls are **t stopped, their SIMs will be blocked, and if the caller continues to make false calls, he will be proceeded against under the law.
He said such callers besides offering false information about terrorism also hurl abuses to the personnel manning the telephone or tell them ob**xious jokes.
The spokesman said Nacta received 41 genuine calls on which prompt action had been taken. An expert on security affairs Amir Rana said the reason behind the false calls is that the culture of helpline is **t so old in the country.
He said it would take time till the people in general could k**w the utility of this service and the procedure of lodging complaint has to be simplified.
