Police clueless about Pearl ‘kidnapper’

TOBA TEK SINGH- The police have no clue yet to Daniel Pearl kidnap-and-murder case suspect Amjad Ali Farooqi.

Sources said no significant information had been obtained from Muhammad Amer and Muhammad Javed, his two brothers who have been interrogated by several teams and remain in Toba Tek Singh police custody three weeks after their arrest.

Toba police, however, denied arresting Amjad’s wife. A source in the police said she had been arrested from Chak 478 GB near Samundri, where she was visiting her parents, apparently by a team from Faisalabad or Lahore.

Farooqi’s father and a brother, who had reportedly left on a six week preaching mission before police raided their house in Chak 687/27 GB near Sindhilanwali, have yet to return. Several other relatives, too, are said to have left the village to avoid the police.
