Lahore: An anonymous letter has threatened more attacks in Lahore, if "immoral activities" are not stopped at a popular park in this cultural capital, police said.
The letter addressed to Lahore's SSP (Operations) has drawn the attention of senior police officials towards "immoral activities" at Bagh-e-Jinnah, a popular park. The letter, copies of which were sent to some other police officials and newspaper editors, claimed that prostitutes were operating openly in the park.
It claimed that the police, despite two "earlier warnings", had done little to curb vulgarity, the Daily Times reported. "Few selected professional prostitutes are dealing in the activity of sex with males of every age openly in Lawrence Garden (or) Bagh-e-Jinnah, Lahore, without the fear of police since long.
But Lahore police and high-ups are not taking any step against them due to enlightened moderation policy," the letter alleged. "Despite advice issued twice, sufficient steps to stop this evil/un-Islamic activity in Lawrence Garden are not being taken by the Lahore police," it said.
"It was clearly and sympathetically advised twice and this is the third time. We have no personal enmity with police and security forces, but if police and law enforcement agencies are not going to act upon our legal demands, then more severe attacks will continue taking place in Lahore. It is also pointed out that our determination is still high we can never be discouraged," the letter said.
Lahore has been rocked by four suicide attacks since January that have killed dozens and injured hundreds of people. The most recent attacks on the office of the Federal Investigation Agency and an advertising agency on March 11 - killed 28 people and injured 170.
