Pakistain (TTP) have made some startling revelations.
These suspects had been arrested on receiving a tip. They revealed major information about the modus operandi of collecting extortion.
The arrested suspects were providing assistance to the TTP for many years by collecting extortion on the group’s behalf. They allegedly also confirmed the presence of TTP commanders in Afghanistan.
One of the arrested suspects allegedly revealed that Abdul Raziq, a TTP commander in Afghanistan, used to issue them instructions through WhatsApp.
The TTP commander would ask for photos and videos of people's houses and shops and make extortion calls to them from Afghanistan, a suspect claimed.
In case of non-payment, the TTP commander used to threaten to kill or abduct the victims, he added.
The law enforcement agencies are taking vigorous measures to protect the public. The security forces are achieving considerable success in crackdowns on the extortionist mafia.
