A woman has been arrested in Pakpattan after she allegedly recorded and shared a TikTok video while wearing a police uniform.
The woman, identified as Shumaila Aslam, was taken into custody after the video went viral on social media and attracted public attention. Following the video’s circulation online, District Police Officer (DPO) Javed Iqbal Chadhar ordered an inquiry to investigate the matter.
According to police, officials are looking into how Shumaila Aslam obtained the official police uniform and whether anyone from the police department helped her or was involved in its alleged misuse. Authorities are also trying to find out if the uniform was used without permission and whether any laws were violated.
Police said the investigation will be carried out in a fair and transparent manner. They added that legal action will be taken against anyone found responsible, whether directly or indirectly involved in the case. If any serving police personnel are found to have provided the uniform or assisted in its misuse, they may also face disciplinary and legal action.
The incident has sparked discussion on social media, where many users questioned how an official police uniform could be accessed by a civilian. Others called for a thorough investigation to ensure accountability and prevent similar incidents in the future.
Officials have urged the public not to misuse official uniforms or government property, as doing so can create confusion and may be considered a legal offence.
The inquiry is still ongoing, and authorities say further details will be shared once the investigation is complete. The case highlights the importance of protecting official uniforms and ensuring they are not used for unauthorized purposes.
