A group of robbers posing as fake police and army officers stole over Rs. 400,000 worth of foreign currency from a student in the F-10 area of Islamabad. The incident, which has raised concerns about security and impersonation, was reported to the Shalimar Police Station.
According to the victim’s account, the student had just exchanged Pakistani currency for euros at a local money exchange when he was approached by five unknown individuals. These individuals, employing a cunning ruse, managed to relieve him of the foreign currency, along with his ID card, ATM card, and three mobile phones.
