DIJKOT:

Faisalabad police have arrested a driver who falsely alleged that police personnel had robbed him of a truck load with livestock.

An investigation has been launched after the authorities uncovered an insurance fraud behind the allegation.

The incident occurred near Aminpur Bangla, where driver Sanaullah called Rescue 15, claiming that armed men in police uniform had hijacked his truck carrying cattle and abandoned him in a sugarcane field.

SHO Shaqeeb Raza Butt grew suspicious during initial inquiries. During interrogation, Sanaullah confessed that the robbery had been staged to claim insurance money and offered Rs400,000 in bribe to the police officer to drop the case.

The Sandal Bar police station SHO registered a case against the driver for making a false helpline call and attempted bribery.

The Iqbal Town SP said the investigation had begun after social media posts about police's involvement in the truck robbery.
