According to police officials, the complainant, Akram Zargar, a resident of Chunian, contacted the emergency helpline on Friday, claiming that two unidentified motorcyclists had robbed him of Rs25,000 and 206 grams of gold worth approximately Rs200 million.
Investigation Reveals Fabricated Incident
When police arrived at the scene, the complainant created a commotion and pretended to suffer a heart attack. He was immediately shifted to a hospital for medical attention, while the investigation continued. However, investigators soon found inconsistencies in his story.
