Utility Stores employees arrested for demanding extortion from their officer

The incident involving the Utility Stores staff members demanding ransom from their Zonal Manager Qaiser Saeed via Katcha dacoits highlights the ongoing issue of crime in the Katcha areas of Sindh. The staff members Moazzam Ali, Izhar Ali, and Liaquat Ali have been charged at the Abad police station in Sukkur for their involvement in this extortion. 

Currently, two of the accused employees have been arrested and are on physical remand, while efforts are underway to apprehend the remaining staff member and the involved dacoit. This case underscores the broader problem of kidnapping for ransom by Katcha dacoits in the region, which has seen a significant rise recently.

In a related development back in May, the police successfully rescued a six-year-old boy named Ayaz Pathan, who had been kidnapped by Katcha dacoits. The recovery followed an encounter with the dacoits, demonstrating the persistent and dangerous challenges law enforcement faces in these areas.
