According to the FIR lodged at Chaklala Police Station by Areeba Rubab, a resident of Taxila, she works at a Chinese call centre in Rawalpindi along with her husband, Gao Kaizan. She reported that a man named Fawad Ahmed arrived at the call centre some weeks earlier, accompanied by unidentified individuals, and demanded Rs 2 million through threats and intimidation.<\/p>\n
The complainant stated that they informed their employer, after which Rs 1.5 million was paid in cash and another Rs 500,000 was transferred to the suspects\u2019 account.<\/p>\n
A few days later, Fawad Ahmed told them he could arrange a meeting with a man he claimed was Brigadier Ali Jan Owais from an intelligence agency, assuring them that they would not face any harassment if they made monthly payments.<\/p>\n
On April 8, Fawad allegedly took them to a location where a man introduced himself as Brigadier Ali Jan Owais. During the meeting, the impersonator demanded Rs 6 million in exchange for \u201cprotection\u201d from any agency or department. However, after receiving the money, the suspects switched off their phones and disappeared.<\/p>\n

Police confirmed that the suspects extorted money through blackmail and threats. A case has been registered, and further investigation is underway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
