Pakistan Rangers Sindh had marched ahead in the process of digging out more clues pertaining to use of black money for funding terrorism. The new developments were linked to ongoing investigations into collection of extortion money and killings of those who refused to bow down their heads to the extortionists that operated from the Fishermen Co-operative Housing Society (FCHS).
These revelations were made by those who were arrested earlier. According to details, the arrested FCHC seniors had purportedly confessed to the Rangers investigators they had been gathering Rs 350 million every month approximately through extortion from traders and businessmen and in case of refusing to pay the money in extortion, the traders and businessmen were subjected to torture; and they were even killed.
The Rangers investigators had also allegedly recovered a sum of Rs 20.8 million from a car owned and used by Muhammad Khan Chachar, who was also from the FCHS. Rangers investigators had also learned names of three allegedly main players in the scam, Abdul Mannan, Mir Habib Jan Balouch and Yasir, who were allegedly key partners of the accused. Abdul Mannan was said to be a close relative of the arrested FCHS acting chairman Qamar Sultan Siddiqui while Yasir was assigned to convey instructions to FCHS chairman Dr Nisar Morai and FCHS acting chairman Qamar Sultan Siddiqui regarding collection of extortion money.
As far as Mir Habib Jan Balouch was concerned, the arrested FCHS seniors purportedly confessed to the Rangers investigators that had owned a contract of entry and exit routes of the Karachi Fish Harbour and he had deployed a gang war terrorist on those routes for collecting extortion from fish traders. The approximate sum of money thus collected through extortion amounted to Rs.350 million every month. The accused further confessed that those traders and businessmen, who refused to pay extortion, were killed and a total of 7 such persons were so far killed allegedly on orders of Nisar Morai network.
On the other hand, FCHS acting chairman Qamar Sultan Siddiqui had during investigations allegedly made horrible revelations regarding funding the terrorists of the Lyari gang war leaders in foreign countries through Hawala. The money was gathered by a Lyari gang war terrorist Taj Muhammad alias Taju and around Rs 1 billion were sent to Lyari gang war leaders in Malaysia and Dubai. Siddiqui had never used phone to contact Lyari gang war terrorists but used to meet them in person and terrorists used to contact him through letters in which details about kidnapped traders and money collected in extortion were mentioned. It had been emerged through investigation that the arrested FCHS acting chairman Qamar Sultan Siddiqui had with the black money owned arms shop, bungalow, four luxury apartments and car showrooms worth Rs.700 million.
