TikTok fame lands fake CTD officer in jail
Listen to article Police arrested a man impersonating a Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) inspector who used fake gear, a black car, and social media videos to project a false image of authority and intimidate the public. According to Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) Police, the arrest took place near Khanna Bridge on the Islamabad Expressway during routine patrolling by Traffic Police ASI Muhammad Ramzan. The suspect, driving vehicle registration BF-2421, falsely claimed to be a CTD officer and threatened police with serious consequences, a police spokesperson told APP on Sunday. Officers recovered a fake CTD uniform, a blue revolving siren light, an iPhone 16 Pro Max, USB, and other materials used to impersonate law enforcement. A search of his phone revealed several TikTok and social media videos where he posed as a CTD officer conducting raids. Further inquiry confirmed the man had no ties to any security agency and was using the false identity to scare civilians and boost his popularity online by forming a fake gang persona. Lohi Bher Police, led by SHO Fawad Khalid, registered a case under sections 170 and 171 of the Pakistan Penal Code, along with additional provisions for impersonation and misuse of emergency equipment. Police warned that impersonating state officials and misusing uniforms is a serious offence and would be dealt with strictly.
