Details reveal that four individuals, comprising three employees of Utility Stores, used Katcha dacoits to extort a ransom of Rs. 4 million from their Zonal Manager, Qaiser Saeed.
Utility Stores employees Moazzam Ali, Izhar Ali, and Liaquat Ali have been arrested at the Abad police station in Sukkur on allegations that they used Katcha dacoits to seek extortion money from their zonal in-charge.
While on a raid to apprehend a dacoit and another employee of Utility Stores, the police also apprehended two employees, who are currently being held in physical custody.
Due to a recent rise in kidnappings for ransom, katcha dacoits have emerged as a significant problem in Sindh.
The young youngster who had been abducted by the Katcha area dacoits (riverine area robbers) was found by the authorities back in May after 26 days.
After an alleged meeting with the dacoits in the Katcha area, the Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) claimed to have retrieved the six-year-old child, identified as Ayaz Pathan.
