Federal search warrant executed at Pleasantville doctor's office


  • Breaking

BreakingAC has obtained copies of a federal search warrant for a pain management office in Pleasantville.

The warrant to search 1004 S. New Road in Pleasantville "and the electronic devices located therein" was signed Wednesday by U.S. Magistrate Judge Andre Espinosa.

Federal agencies including the FBI were at that location Thursday morning, a spokeswoman for the FBI confirmed but said she could not give any details.

The business is owned by husband-and-wife doctors Abdul Qadir and Rafat Choudhry, who live in Linwood.

There is no name on the warrant, but attached forms for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration have Qadir's name and address handwritten. The pages indicate an iPhone was seized along with patient files, office records, pre-signed prescriptions and a thumb drive. 

Qadir deals in pain management and anesthesiology. His wife deals with internal medicine.

The two have been at the location since 2012.

Both are listed as being affiliated with Shore Medical Center. But a spokesman for the Somers Point hospital said that "they are not employed by Shore, and we do not contract with them."
