A man was arrested and detained for impersonating an officer of a law enforcement agency to seek personal favours at the Senate Secretariat, the police said on Thursday.<\/p>\n
A first information report (FIR) was registered at the Secretariat police station on January 23 on the complaint of Senate Joint Secretary Hyder Ali under Sections 170 (personating a public servant), 171 (wearing garb or carrying token used by public servant with fraudulent intent) and 419 (punishment for cheating by personation) of the Pakistan Penal Code.<\/p>\n
The FIR, a copy of which is available with Dawn.com, said the suspect was impersonating a \u201cserving officer of the law enforcement agency\u201d and had visited the Senate Secretariat numerous times over the past few days seeking \u201cpersonal favours through criminal intimidation\u201d.<\/p>\n
The FIR added that an inquiry revealed that the person was using a fake identity to gain \u201cunlawful favours\u201d. It requested the police to investigate the matter and take legal action against the suspect.<\/p>\n
Sub-Inspector Muhammad Akbar, the investigating officer, provided an update to Dawn.com today about the case, saying: \u201cThe person concerned was arrested by Senate security and brought to us. An investigation was conducted against this person and a challan was also submitted. Now this person has been sent to jail.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said the suspect was arrested the same day the FIR was filed and an army badge was also seized from his custody.<\/p>\n
