He was immediately arrested by a police patrol team and transported to the regional command for further questioning.

After taking the uniform, the suspect allegedly wore it and moved to Circle to harass traders and hawkers.

He also allegedly collected various sums of money from the victims.

A trader after observing Dapaatem for a while realised his demeanor was questionable. The trader then reported him to the police who arrested him for questioning.
