The recent infighting among outlawed TTP may help the government and security forces to deal with the militants but it has created more trouble for businessmen in the twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad.
In a classic case of “Damned if i do and damned if i dont” The businessmen community who had already paid extortion to the TTP received calls for payment of more money, officials in the police said.
The second calls, they added, came even though middlemen of the militants had given assurances that the businessmen would not be threatened.
The officials said the different extortion groups worked under Shehryar Mehsud and Khan Said alias Sajna.
