Shahdara police have arrested four friends who staged a fake robbery to hide a Rs. 20 million transaction.
The main suspect, Imran, was supposed to pay Rs. 20 million for a financial matter but decided to keep the money. He enlisted his friends to help him create a fake robbery and then reported it to the police.
During the investigation, police noticed inconsistencies in the suspects’ stories. Further questioning led to the group’s confession that the robbery was fabricated.
Police have filed charges against the suspects and continue their investigation.
In a separate incident in Mustafa Town, a cash delivery boy for a private company tried to steal company funds by staging a fake robbery.
Muhammad Irfan, the employee in charge of delivering cash, hid the money in his car and then called the police to report a fake robbery.
When police investigated, they discovered Irfan’s deception and identified him as the culprit.
