A video circulating on social media shows the officials were chasing a silver coloured bus travelling from Peshawar to Islmabad and signalling the driver to stop. The scene was captured by a citizen travelling on the M2.
Ignoring the police party, the driver continued to driving and at one point near Taxila interchange he reduced the speed, apparently, surrendering to the officials.
