It is not communel attacked but criminels by forcely asking money. Local low enforcement authorities such as Juducial, Police should have peevent this type of crime. Really unfortunate. This type of criminel activities happened in era of 90s. When we inform these type we fall in trouble and we have to fight with criminels.
