Fake Police Officers Allegedly Steal Rs 25,000 in Shahzad Town
Shahzad Town resident Amir Khan alleges three armed men in civilian clothes entered his home, searched belongings, mistreated female family members and took Rs25,000, while police allegedly failed to respond to his emergency call.
ISLAMABAD, October 13, 2026: A resident of Islamabad’s Shahzad Town area has alleged that three armed men, identifying themselves as personnel of the Secretariat Police Station, entered his residence, conducted an unauthorised search and took Rs25,000 before leaving.
The complainant, identified as Amir Khan, claimed that the three individuals were dressed in civilian clothing and carrying pistols when they entered his home within the jurisdiction of Shahzad Town Police Station.
According to Khan, the men introduced themselves as police officials from Secretariat Police Station and proceeded to search the premises, including storage trunks containing household belongings.
He further alleged that the individuals behaved inappropriately towards female members of his family during the search, causing distress among those present.
Rs25,000 Allegedly Taken During Search
Amir Khan claimed that the three individuals took Rs25,000 from his residence before leaving the property.
The complainant questioned the authority under which the men entered his home and searched his belongings, particularly as they were wearing civilian clothes while claiming to represent a police station.
The identities of the individuals and whether they were serving police personnel or people falsely claiming police authority have not been independently established.
Citizen Alleges No Response to Emergency Call
Raising further concerns about police responsiveness, Khan claimed that he contacted the police emergency helpline, 15, following the incident but that no police personnel arrived at his residence.
His allegation has raised questions about the handling of the reported emergency call and whether the relevant police authorities received, recorded or acted upon his request for assistance.
The complainant’s account of the emergency response remains unverified. The call record and any police dispatch information would be important in establishing the sequence of events.
Complainant Claims Previous Sighting at Tarnol Police Station
In another significant allegation, Amir Khan claimed that he had previously seen one of the three individuals at Tarnol Police Station.
However, his reported sighting does not independently establish whether the individual was a police officer, an employee or a visitor to the station.
The claim highlights the need for authorities to establish the identities of those involved and determine whether police personnel participated in the reported incident or whether individuals misused the name of the police to gain entry to the residence.
Questions Over Identity and Police Accountability
The reported incident raises several important questions concerning the security of private residences, the verification of individuals claiming official authority and the handling of emergency assistance requests in Islamabad.
Verification of police deployment records, the alleged emergency call and any available surveillance footage could help determine what occurred.
An official clarification from Islamabad Police would also be important in establishing whether personnel from Secretariat Police Station had any connection with the reported visit.
As of this report, Islamabad Tribune has not independently verified the allegations or obtained an official police response addressing the specific incident.
It has also not been independently confirmed whether a formal police complaint or First Information Report has been registered.
The allegations should therefore not be treated as established findings against any individual or police institution. The matter requires verification through an impartial investigation and relevant official records.
