According to the initial police reports, the policeman, later identified as Adnan, was posted in the Judicial Wing of the Lahore police. He was taken into custody when a video clip recorded by a Punjab Safe Cities Authority (PSCA) camera showed him stealing the motorbike parked in a street.

The footage later also went viral on social media. The police traced the suspect and arrested him after registering a case.
