The law enforcers took care to hide the names of police stations, code numbers and vehicle registration plates with the help of tape to conceal identities of personnel involved in the search operation.
During the raid, the officials also searched the room of the hospital's IT department administrator Najaf Ali and seized computer hard drives, laptops and other documents.
The search operation lasted an hour and a half and detained four persons, as well as the hospital's PRO Sheikh Arshad Hussain, Arshad Hashmat and Aslam Pervez and shifted them to an undisclosed location.
