The family solicitor Aamer Anwar said>
"I strongly condemn police tactics which are a sign of increased desperation to widen the net.
"This is a respectable family, who since the arrest of their son, have fully co-operated with the police in their inquiries, yet find themselves being terrorised in this manner.
"The Siddique family are deeply distressed and anxious that both Asif and Mohammed Rafiq who have committed no crime are released immediately."
