KARACHI: Police on Sunday claimed to have arrested an imposter in the Defence Housing Authority for carrying several cards of media organisations and getting affixed a ‘press’ sticker on his car.

The Gizri police on late Saturday night signalled a car (ACM-278) in Defence to stop. As the vehicle stopped, the driver identified himself as Ghulam Rasool and started using foul language and threatening the police.

He said he was a ‘journalist’, but upon verification it transpired that he was a ‘fake’ media person, said Gizri SHO Rizwan Hyder.

The police claimed to have recovered over six ‘press cards’ and hashish from him.

A case has been registered against him at the Gizri police station.

Recently, the police arrested an imposter in the Defence area as he presented himself as a police official.
