The driver claimed he is a police officer and demanded for his Civil ID. When the expatriate started asking questions, the suspect ordered him to go to the police station of the area.

Even the Arabs have started learning the tricks of the trade from those who practice such acts in Sri Lanka and apply it against our own people. Very funny.
