LAHORE, Jan 4: The law enforcement agencies have raided the house of the son-in-law of a noted religious scholar, Dr Israr Ahmed, in Model Town here on suspicion of links with the militant organizations.

Dr Israr's son-in-law, Dr Khalid Zaigham, told Dawn on Saturday night that personnel of police and elite force had raided his house on Tuesday last when he was out of the city.

His family, he said, got harassed by the police raid. The police, however, had left a message for him to contact on a cell phone of a 'police officer' on his return. But when he contacted, the police officer was not available, he added.

He said the law enforcement agencies had taken one of their family friends Dr Inamullah into custody from Attock on suspicion of links with Al Qaeda.
