Task force Wednesday night raided and searched Pallabi house of Proshika chief Dr Kazi Faruq Ahmed, Gulshan house of Awami League leader AKM Rahmatullah and Bashundhara home of LDP secretary general Prof. Zahanara Begum.

Rahmatullah's family said the task force came at about 11pm, conducted search and left after 45 minutes.

Rahmatulla is now away from the country. Nothing was seized from his house.

Task force picked up Proshika chief Dr Kazi Faruq Ahmed and his son Kazi Rubayet Ahmed from their Pallabi residence in the city and released them after sometime.

Preferring anonymity, a Proshika official said the task force raided the house of Kazi Faruq late at night and asked the family members to call him, as he was not present at home.

A passport and some documents were also seized from the house during the raid.

When Kazi Faruk returned to his residence, the task force took him and his son to the Proshika office at Mirpur at about 2am and searched the office. Later, they released them.
