The police officer also said that the extortion network appears to have been operated by kingpins.

In order to crack down on the extortion network, the Manipur Police has constituted special police teams in all the districts under the overall supervision of DGP (LO), Zonal IGs and DIGs, Jayanta added.

He also highlighted the challenges faced by the Police department in busting extortion rackets, which he said that extortions often come to light only after police investigations on violent incidents, such as abduction, bomb planting and firings.

The police officer then emphasized that they cannot succeed without the public cooperation in cracking down on extortion rackets.
