LAHORE – A Lahore resident who attempted to take the driving test for a friend was nabbed and facing jail time in Lahore.
In a social media post, Lahore Traffic Police shared an update, saying two men identified as Farrukh Ejaz and his friend Usman were held and a case has been registered against them at Gulberg police station.
Officials said Usman impersonated Farrukh to crack the driving test. The duo was held when the accused’s biometrics were taken in the wake of suspicious gestures.
During the probe, the biometric of Usman was not matched with the ID of Usman.

People are flocking to driving centers as traffic police launched a crackdown across Punjab against those who are driving cars, motorcycles, and other vehicles without holding a valid driving license.
The crackdown caused an inflow of citizens at traffic police offices and Police Khidmat Markaz in various cities of Punjab, including Lahore, to get learner driving license so they could save themselves from registration of FIR and challan.
