Extortion Threats Escalate in Karachi: Manghopir Factory Owner Receives Rs 1 Billion Demand with Bullets

KARACHI – Extortion-related incidents continue to rise in the city, as the owner of a marble factory in Manghopir received an extortion slip demanding **Rs 10 crore (Rs 100 million)** along with **two bullets**, according to police on Wednesday. A case has been registered, and investigations are underway.

Police officials said the threat appears linked to the recent uptick in extortion attempts across Karachi. On Tuesday, a similar incident occurred on Tariq Road, where armed men opened fire on a car belonging to a showroom owner after he allegedly refused to pay **Rs 5 million** in extortion.
