Unknown Rob Citizen as Fake FIA Officers in Islamabad

Gang Targets Victim in Bold Daylight Crime

Police in Islamabad have reported a disturbing incident where eight individuals impersonating Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) officials robbed a citizen of Rs200,000 in the Tarnol area. The suspects, wearing authentic-looking FIA uniforms, allegedly targeted Muhammad Asif as he was returning home from Dhoke Paracha, taking advantage of the victim’s trust in law enforcement authorities.

Violent Confrontation and Forced ATM Withdrawal

According to the police report, the fake officers not only stopped Asif but also physically assaulted him before forcibly taking him into their vehicle. The criminals then transported the victim to an ATM location where they compelled him to withdraw cash under duress. After successfully obtaining the money, the group abandoned Asif and fled the scene, leaving the traumatized victim to report the incident to local authorities.

Police Launch Manhunt for Impersonators

The Tarnol Police Station has registered the case and initiated a comprehensive investigation to identify and apprehend the culprits. Law enforcement officials are examining CCTV footage from the area and following other investigative leads to track down the gang members. This incident has raised serious concerns about public safety and the potential for similar crimes involving impersonation of government officials.

Growing Concerns About Uniformed Crimes

Security analysts note that such incidents undermine public trust in legitimate law enforcement operations. The boldness of this daylight robbery, involving multiple suspects in official-looking uniforms, has prompted calls for stricter verification procedures when citizens are approached by individuals claiming to be government officers. Authorities have advised the public to always request official identification and verify credentials with relevant departments when approached by uniformed personnel.
