The incident has prompted an inquiry by the ICT Police and raised concerns about the prevalence of such fraudulent activities. The police have urged the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity.

In a separate incident last week, Excise Taxation and Narcotics Control Mardan caught a fake Major dressed in a Pakistan Army uniform smuggling 60kg of weed. The suspect, who was driving a green number plate vehicle with tinted glasses, had hit an excise police station's mobile vehicle while attempting to escape.

After a long chase, the police eventually caught up with the culprit near the gate of PAF Academy Risalpur.
