The squad, however, did not state what led to the extortion and if the money collected was recovered.
In response to NAN queries on cases of impersonation of RRS operatives, it said that all RRS operatives must wear official badges on sleeves and their name tags on the breast of their shirts.
It stressed that the public could also identify white vehicles of RRS operatives with red and blue stripes and “RRS” boldly inscribed on the body of the vehicles, motorcycles and Armored Personnel Carriers (APC).
The squad urged the public to report any unprofessional conduct by its officers to 09053950347, 08185919893. (SMS and WhatsApp only).
