A list of extortionists in Dhaka city is being prepared and drives against them will begin within two or three days, said Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Commissioner SM Sazzat Ali today (21 December).

"The prices of essential commodities are on the rise due to extortion and no one involved in extortion will be spared," he said at a view-exchange meeting with police, students and residents of the Ramna area at the Institution of Diploma Engineers in the capital.

He said low and middle-income group people have been going through terrible hardship due to the skyrocketing prices of daily essentials caused by the extortion.

Noting that the mugging incidents in Dhaka have increased, Sazzat urged people to be cautious while moving on roads.

He also urged hawkers to refrain from extortion and to do their business in an orderly manner on the streets.

Besides, terming the motorcycle as a risky vehicle, the DMP chief assured that discipline would be brought into the traffic system.

Expressing concern over the excessive use of horns in traffic congestion, he said, "Drivers who repeatedly blow their horns will face action soon."
