A missing iPhone has turned into a nationwide fraud investigation, and it’s the kind of case that should make anyone who has ever had a phone couriered into Pakistan pay attention. How One Missing Phone Became a Nationwide CaseThe complaint came from Muhammad Nausherwan Khan, whose sister in Canada sent him an iPhone 16 Plus through FedEx in December 2024. Once the handset landed in Karachi, Khan paid the PTA tax, Rs138,526, the standard registration duty required to activate an imported phone on Pakistani mobile networks. The answer, according to the FTO’s order, was in the details that hadn’t changed and the ones that had. That decision is what turned a single resolved complaint into an order for a nationwide inquiry.
