In shocking scenes that shook the streets of Iraq’s capital Baghdad, a young man deliberately set fire to a car on a public road, then pulled an unusual trick by using the public’s sympathy to collect money and donations under the pretext that he had met with a sudden accident.
However, the chapters of this story were not completed as planned. Security authorities uncovered the truth and arrested a young man who was trying to gain sympathy from passersby by using methods that violated the law and undermined public trust.
The Baghdad/Al-Khalf Police Command said in an official statement that the suspect was arrested after the matter was exposed and referred to the competent authorities to take necessary legal action against him in accordance with the approved framework.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Interior released a video clip on its official Facebook page that recorded the moment of the suspect’s arrest, but did not reveal his identity as the suspect appeared to be in possession of a large sum of money collected from the public through this scam.
The video shows the car completely ablaze and with severe damage to the doors and seats, reflecting the extent of the deception that ended in the owner’s downfall, after the fire went from a means to garner sympathy to indisputable evidence of guilt.
