Soon after, a FIR was filed at the Preedy police station under various sections of the Pakistan Penal Code, including stealing, cheating, and impersonating a public servant. In his complaint, Metin stated that he was in Karachi to exchange money with his driver for the company he owned.
Two men in a white Corolla approached him and began questioning him while searching his bag, posing as police officers. They then drove away abruptly, leaving Metin with no choice but to file a police report.
According to SSP Raza, similar incidents have been occurring in Saddar and other parts of Karachi for some time, with criminal gangs dressed as police or intelligence officers preying on innocent people. Metin has requested that authorities take legal action and bring the perpetrators to justice.
