Pleasantville doctor's office quietly reopens after FBI search


  • Breaking

A Pleasantville doctor's office quietly reopened after a federal search warrant was executed there.

The warrant to search 1004 S. New Road in Pleasantville "and the electronic devices located therein" was signed last 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.

No charges have been filed. 

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

Handwritten paperwork attached to the warrant obtained by BreakingAC named only Qadir, whose specialties are pain management and anesthesiology.

A woman who answered the phone at the office Tuesday said, "No, we can't comment on any of that," before a reporter finished a question about the apparent raid.

A list of items seized indicated an iPhone was seized along with patient files, office records, pre-signed prescriptions and a thumb drive. 

The couple opened their practices at the Pleasantville location in 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."
