PESHAWAR, Dec 11: The authorities have not yet disclosed the whereabouts of Asif Choto, chief of the outlawed Lashkar-i-Jhangvi and his four associates who were arrested some 75 days ago, family members said on Sunday. Relatives of one of the detainees from Peshawar told Dawn that neither Choto nor his companions had been produced in a court of law.

“None of the concerned officials has been conceding the detention of Asif Choto and his companions,” said a family member on condition of anonymity.
