Suspected TTP extortionists arrested in Karachi
The suspects were arrested after a shootout and a large cache of weapons and ammunition was seized from them.
SSP Raja Umar Khattab said that the suspects were caught red-handed from the Timoria area.
He said the suspects had already extorted money from 46 traders and industrialists, and that they were working for the TTP’s Qari Shakeel Group.
The three suspects have been identified as Gul Wali, Hazrat Ali and Ameer Zada.
Earlier this year, police arrested three alleged members of the TTP along with a ‘target killer’. The three TTP suspects —Alamzaib alias Noor Shah, Hassan Dar alias Sheena and Inamur Rehman — were arrested during a raid in Orangi Town’s Sector 10-1/2.
The police claimed that the suspects belong to TTP’s Abu Mansoor group, which is based in Swat.
Sindh Rangers have launched a helpline, 1101, to facilitate citizens and to improve law and order situation in Karachi. The purpose is for citizens to immediately report, on the given number, if they notice the presence of criminals, extortionists, target killers or suspicious elements carrying weapons around their work place or residence.

these are the people behind the killings in karachi. no matter, the mqm and all other parties need to be sorted out, but it shouldnt be forgotten that these murderers sought to perpetuate all out war in karachi by playing one against the other. hunt them all down.
No matter which group the extortionists belong to, they should be apprehended by the law enforcing agencies, irrespective of their political or religious affiliation.
According to the in-depth analysis, the extortionists, robbers and dacoits use the money to purchase arms and ammunition to conduct terrorist activities.
If we want to stop terrorism, we much chase each and every extortionist in order to control the law and order situation.
agreed with kala bacha.. Well done law enforcement agencies.
Bring them to media, show there cowards faces. Hang them publicly!
