ISLAMABAD: The Taliban has forcibly captured three houses and ten shops belonging to people of the Sikh community in the Orakzai Agency of the
Federally Administered Tribal Areas (Fata) after they failed to fulfil their demands of huge protection money.
According to the sources, Taliban gunmen forced all the 24 family members of one Kalyan Singh out of their houses and shops. Singh, a cloth merchant, was kidnapped by extremists a fortnight ago, and was released when he paid 3.5 million rupees out of the 13 million rupees which was demanded as protection money. After Singh failed to arrange the rest of the amount, the Taliban occupied the properties.
