According to an FIA spokesman, accused identified as Ghulam Qadir and Tanveer-ul-Hassan were arrested from different areas of the city. Ghulam Qadir allegedly extorted Rs3 million from a citizen under the pretext of sending him to Greece for employment, while Tanveer-ul-Hassan reportedly took Rs1.1 million from an individual, promising him a job opportunity in Saudi Arabia.
