Extortionists Confirm TTP Presence in Afghanistan
The arrested extortionists also confirm the presence of banned TTP commanders in Afghanistan. They specifically mentioned that the outlawed TTP commander, Abdul Raziq, is currently situated in Afghanistan and communicates instructions through WhatsApp.
Furthermore, the arrested suspect revealed that Abdul Raziq, the outlawed TTP commander, requested videos of shops and houses owned by targeted individuals, which were later used to demand extortion payments. In cases of non-payment or delays, he would issue threats of harm or abduction.
To combat extortion and criminal elements, law enforcement agencies are implementing comprehensive measures to protect their citizens.
