Jasarat office raided
PESHAWAR- The bureau office of daily Jasarat was raided by police in the afternoon under the supervision of a magistrate.
NWFP Home Secretary, Syed Mazhar Ali Shah, when contacted expressed ignorance about the incident.

The daily which has recently been brought out from Islamabad after Karachi, is owned by a religio-political party. The bureau chief was said to have left Peshawar for his native village.
