PESHAWAR: Terrorists are using Afghan Sims to make extortion calls to people including traders and industrialists in Peshawar and other parts of KPK.
According to KPK Police, over 160 Afghan Sims are being used by terrorists for extortion and kidnaping. Traders and industrialists are being targeted in different parts of the province by extortion calls.
Terrorists are targeting those who refuse to pay extortion money. In some cases their houses have been targeted by terrorists with bombs while some people have become victim of target killing.
KPK government has failed to stop the extortion calls and provide security to the people in this regard.
However, a letter had been sent by provincial government to interior ministry last month stressing to discuss the issue with Afghan government. A complete list of cellular numbers used by extortionists from across the border had been sent to interior ministry to raise the issue of extortion calls from Afghan Sims.
