GUJRANWALA: The Anti-Corruption Establishment arrested on Friday three members of a gang for running an ACE-like body by engaging people.

ACE Director Rai Naeemullah Bhatti told media the gang was issuing identity cards to those who wanted to become ‘investigators’ by charging huge sums from them. The card holders would blackmail people to earn money. He said the ACE arrested Bilal Rana, Ali Raza and Aatif Mehmood.

The regional director warned the public and government agencies to be aware of such fake organisations.
