1. Extortionists in Karachi are actively threatening traders with letters accompanied by bullets.

2. These letters demand large sums of money, often mentioning specific amounts or even cemeteries, and include actual bullets.

3. The threatening notes, with bullets wrapped inside, are being left in places like go-down locks.

4. The return of these extortion tactics is creating fear among traders and residents, with threatening notes and bullets being sent to the business community.

B. Resurgence of Extortion in Karachi

1. The discussion begins with the presence of numerous extortion notes and bullets, highlighting the scale of the problem.

3. Businessmen in various areas have received these threatening notes and bullets, which were then collected and reported.

4. Alarmingly, school-going children have also been threatened with murder, abduction, or being sent to the graveyard, raising concerns about their safety.

C. Challenges in Combating Extortion and Law Enforcement Limitations

1. Victims are reluctant to file police reports against extortionists, and even judges are hesitant to convict them, often advising victims to withdraw cases for their own safety.

2. Extortionists often leave threatening notes with bullets in the locks of businesses, implying that the business will remain closed until their demands are met.

3. The Special Investigation Unit (SIU) of Karachi's Special Branch was formed to combat extortion, but its effectiveness is questioned due to a lack of technical resources.

4. An SIU in-charge, Farooq Aman, admitted that they lacked the technical facilities to trace the location of callers, making it difficult to act on complaints effectively.

D. Combating Extortion in Karachi

1. The speaker emphasizes the necessity of taking action against criminals.

2. Rangers have successfully controlled crimes like terrorism, kidnapping for ransom, target killing, and extortion.

3. If the Sindh government is serious about ending extortion, they should re-task the Rangers, as it would be easier to control now.

4. Many individuals who supported these crimes are now outside the country, making it difficult to trace their calls.

E. The Resurgence of Extortion in Karachi

2. Extortionists are making threat calls, demonstrating their knowledge of the victim's location and threatening violence if money is not transferred online or handed over to their operatives.

3. Many people have become victims and paid the extortion money, despite the IG Sindh dismissing these incidents as mere business disputes among traders.

4. The speaker emphasizes that traders would not send bullets to each other and that these threats severely impact the city's peace and commerce, leaving victims in a state of panic.

F. Extortionists' Resurgence in Karachi

1. The segment begins by questioning the strategy of the Traders' Association to protect traders, given the government's role in ensuring safety.

2. The speaker attributes the criminals' success to an 'empty field,' implying a lack of effective law enforcement and a failure to reassure the public.

3. There is a notable absence of coordination or communication from authorities like the CPLC or DG Rangers regarding their strategies to combat extortion.

4. The public believes that only Allah can protect them from criminals, as law enforcement has not reached out to reassure citizens or conduct operations against the extortionists.
