Nawaz Sharif Family Faces Threat Alert in UK
The Sharif family has been issued a "threat alert" by the UK police, warning of a potential violent attack by unidentified individuals, following intelligence gathered from a conversation among British Pakistani TikTokers in Birmingham.
The Metropolitan Police informed the Sharif family of the threat and provided safety guidelines to ensure their protection, advising them to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions. A case has been registered at the Charing Cross Police Station in London, and detectives from Scotland Yard visited Avenfield flats to inform the family about the threat level.
The alert comes after the arrest of Gulfam Hussain Kayani, a PTI worker who was accused of issuing threats against Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif, former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, and others. The UK police have not revealed information about the source of the threat or who is involved, but it is believed to have originated from an unidentified group of individuals, including a Birmingham-based group of TikTokers who allegedly made threatening videos during live broadcasts.
Most members of the Sharif family have already relocated to Pakistan, but some are still living in London. The development is the latest in a series of incidents involving the Sharif family in the UK, including the arrest of Gulfam Hussain and the removal of a sign on Avenfield flats that read "Sharif House". The family has been advised to stay vigilant and exercise caution in their movements.
The UK police are taking the threat seriously and are working to ensure the safety of the Sharif family. The incident highlights the ongoing concerns about the security of high-profile individuals and families in the UK, particularly those with political connections.
