In Peshawar, criminals have adopted a new method to extort and intimidate citizens by sending coffins. After threatening letters and calls, extortionists have now escalated to sending coffins to demand money.
Recently, coffins were sent to the house of a housing society owner, prompting police to file a case and take the rickshaws carrying the coffins into custody.
The police have registered an FIR against unknown individuals. According to the FIR, the criminals are demanding one crore rupees and have been making threatening calls to the complainant for the past month.
