Extortion less than in past, says Tuku

State Minister for Home Shamsul Haque Tuku yesterday said the incidents of extortion are not as much as they were during the previous governments.
"I have talked to representatives from road transport sector and business leaders at a meeting on law and order situation on Sunday. They informed me that the incidents of extortion are now less compared to the previous governments," he said.
The minister advised the newsmen to compare the crime situation during nine months of present government with the caretaker and the previous five-year rule of BNP led coalition governments.
