The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa police on Saturday raided the house of JUI leader Mufti Kafayatullah in Mansehra and arrested his brother, sons and brother-in-law, reported 24NewsHD TV channel, quoting its sources.

The raid came after the KP government registered a case against Mufti Kafayatullah who was not present in the house when the police party came.

Addressing a news conference in Peshawar on Friday, Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmad had said that the federal government had forwarded a case against JUI-F leader Mufti Kafayatullah to the KP government, adding that no one would be allowed to utter anything against the armed forces.

The minister said the government had also taken notice of activities of ‘armed wings’ of the political parties and they would not be allowed to operate.
