Law enforcement agencies are taking action by identifying those involved in extortion in different parts of the country including the capital. Law enforcement is also investigating those who are controlling extortion from abroad. At the same time, special surveillance is being carried out on those who are feeling behind the scenes.
If found involved in extortion, they will be arrested without considering their social or political status, the law enforcement said. Authorities have advised those who have been victims to seek refuge with law enforcement.
Law enforcement officials say those who are being asked to pay by phone should immediately notify law enforcement. Because the victims do not come to the police station, it is not possible to proceed legally. As a result, the information of many extortionists remained unknown to the law enforcement agencies.
Recently, the detective police arrested several members of a gang from the Satarkul area of the capital on the charge of extortion. During the interrogation, it was learned from them that the clique has regular contacts with the top terrorists living abroad and those who have fled and are staying in different countries. Some of the gangs that continue to commit crimes in the country with the help of terrorists fleeing abroad are also involved in local politics.
According to the sources, different types of groups have recently formed in different areas. There are different age groups in these groups starting from teenagers. They are involved in various crimes in the area. Local influential people are also involved in sponsoring these criminal activities. The groups are becoming reckless at their instigation.
