A viral video has shown a person with uncanny resemblance to a younger Imran Khan, riding a rickshaw in Sialkot.
“Look, there’s Imran Khan on a rickshaw in Sialkot,” the person recording the video from his own vehicle can be heard as jokingly saying.

While the unnamed person from the undated video isn’t really Pakistan’s cricketer-turned-politician and now Prime Minister (PM) Imran (unless he travelled to 2021 from the 1990s), this isn’t the first time such a video has left netizens second-guessing what they just saw.
In 2018, the video of an Imran lookalike driving a Mehran had gone viral soon after his election as the country’s premier.
With the video doing the rounds on social media, people, especially Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) supporters, had started trending tags such as “#NayaPakistan”, “#SayNoToProtocol” and “#ImranKhanOurLeader” on Twitter.
In the said video, those filming the scene could be heard shouting “Naya Pakistan!” and “Wow, Imran Khan!”, to which the person was seen responding with a wave.
Unfortunately, the incident had followed a series of criticism aimed at the PM and his ministers after they did opt for protocol.
