ISLAMABAD, Jan 31: Four armed imposters in police uniform deprived an exporter of his car near the Islamabad airport.

Ghalib Anwar, the owner of Tip Top Company, was on his way home in his Honda Civic (IDL-2025) at 1:40am, after seening off his guests at the Islamabad airport when he came on Islamabad highway, he noticed a police car chasing him.

“The police car flashing the blue light blocked my way. Three men in police uniform got out of the car and approached me,” Mr Anwar said.

He said one of the men posed himself as DSP of Islamabad police and the others as constables. “They had the same rifles and pistols which the policemen carry,” he added.

He said they started searching his car and later demanded that they wanted to take the “apparently tempered” car to the Golra Anti-Car Lifting Cell.

“One of them took control of the steering of my car and started driving towards Faizabad,” the victim said and added, “when I realized that something was wrong, I used my mobile phone to call my friend for help.”

The hijacked car, escorted by the fake police car, crossed the police pickets of the Rawalpindi and Islamabad police at Faizabad. “I waved my hands for help but the police present at the pickets remained unmoved,” the robbery victim told Dawn.

The culprits escaped after forcing Mr Anwar out of the car near Faizabad.

The police failed to catch the robbers who had a car with a green registration plate and the revolving blue light atop its roof.
