ISLAMABAD: A former official of the Presidency was arrested on the charge of taking money from the citizens on the pretext of arranging jobs for them.
The administration of Balochistan House complained to the Secretariat police that a man got a room booked with them by introducing himself as the personal secretary to the secretary general of the president. However, the Presidency denied that the man was working there.
When the police reached the Balochistan House, the accused produced an official card which later turned out to be forged, the police said. In response, the police took him into custody.
The police said besides the forged official card, letterheads of the President House and Punjab Chief Minister House were also recovered form the suspect. The police said the accused used the letterheads for seeking employment for jobseekers in different government and private departments and organisations.
The police said the accused worked in the Presidency but was sacked a couple of years back for his suspicious activities.—Staff Reporter
