In a recent crackdown on fraudulent activities in Jammu and Kashmir's Pulwama district, two individuals have been arrested for extortion. The suspects, identified as Jaliya Parveen and Bilal Ahmad Rah, allegedly posed as having close connections to authorities to deceive and extract money from the public, according to police sources.
The arrests followed a complaint filed by Mushtaq Ahmad Dar, who reported that the accused exploited their supposed ties to law enforcement to intimidate victims into paying them. The duo specifically targeted individuals summoned for questioning, preying on their legal anxieties.
As investigations unfolded, several victims came forward, detailing their experiences of coercion by Parveen and Rah. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, Tral police promptly registered a case under relevant legal provisions, leading to the swift apprehension of the accused.
