Further investigations revealed that the accused was involved in the preparation of fake files in the name of the Pakistan Army, which he sold to unsuspecting members of the public.

ICT Police has launched an inquiry into the matter and are urging the public to remain vigilant against such fraudulent activities. The incident has raised concerns about the prevalence of such scams and the need for increased vigilance in the community.

Last week, Excise Taxation and Narcotics Control Mardan arrested a fake Major dressed in Pakistan Army official uniform who was smuggling 60kg of weed. The contraband was packed in five sacks and concealed in his green number plate vehicle with tinted glasses.

The excise police had set up a picket on the road after receiving a tip-off about drug smuggling. However, the suspect fled after spotting the police. While speeding away, the fake major hit the excise police station’s mobile vehicle and caused significant damage to it. The excise police eventually caught up with the culprit near the gate of PAF Academy Risalpur after a long chase.
