KARACHI: Chairman ABAD Hasan Bakhshi on Wednesday complained rampant extortion in Karachi.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cOur 10 members have received extortion calls from Dubai and Iran,\u201d Association of Builders and Developers (ABAD) top official said here. \u201cRs 50 extortion demanded, when not paid the man was injured in firing,\u201d Bakhshi said.<\/p>\n

ABAD chief said that Ahmed Ali Magsi, Jameel Chhanga, Samad Kathiawari and Aziz gangs have been involved in extortion activities.<\/p>\n

He said 15 to 20 members of the association are forced to pay monthly extortion money to these people.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy police avoid issuing red warrants for law and order, why the home ministry getting failed, people are being killed in Karachi,\u201d Hasan Bakhshi said.<\/p>\n

\u201cCriminals demanding extortion money while giving bank account numbers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow many extortionists have been arrested with surveillance cameras installed in the city,\u201d he questioned.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are 60 cases against Wasiullah Lakho, why his red warrant not issued. If you don\u2019t want to do anything, we will fight extortionists and the land mafia,\u201d ABAD chief said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe appeal to the IG Sindh that things have reached intolerable level now\u201d. \u201cThey picked a lawyer two days ago, no one asked about it\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n

Businessmen are forced to quit Karachi in compulsion, he added.<\/p>\n

ABAD\u2019s patron in chief Mohsin Sheikhani demanded installation of security posts and rangers posting for security. \u201cOur properties and all things have been at stake. People phone from Iran, issue threats,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf any person doesn\u2019t answer, fire open at him,\u201d he said. \u201cWe have so far received 10 complaints of members,\u201d Sheikhani said. \u201cNo one is asking about it, extortionists come at 8:00 in the morning and open firing,\u201d he lamented.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
