A Pakistani man was arrested for choosing to celebrate the country's upcoming Independence Day by scaring pedestrians while wearing a mask. 
Popular journalist Naila Inayat tweeted about the man's strange behaviour in Peshawar city in the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
 
The journo's post sparked a flurry of comments, with one user writing: “This has become a Peshawari festive tradition!”
Earlier this year in January, Pakistani journalist Omar R Quraishi tweeted a similar incident when a man was arrested for wearing a mask and scaring people on New Year’s Eve.
