LAHORE: Prominent lawyer Naeem Bukhari has denied reports that anyone had pushed him at an underground train station in London that caused him multiple injuries.
Talking to a TV correspondent in a London hospital, Mr Bukhari said he lost balance while alighting from the train as he was feeling drowsy during the journey to the Marble Arch station.
The lawyer, who is associated with the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf, said he was recovering well and might be discharged from the hospital in next two to three days.
According to a news report, the British Transport Police said they had no evidence of any attack on the lawyer.

So the British police is lying?
Mr. Bokhari you are in the wrong country to be making these claims.

He is a very reliable person and clear of politics. He says the way he sees it.If he says he fell, he is telling the truth. Someone else in his situation, would have taken advantage to lay blame on his rivals, or an opposing party. This man would not.

"he lost balance while alighting from the train as he was feeling drowsy during the journey to the Marble Arch station" having been to London and traveled on the Underground extensively, it seems difficult to imagine how some one can fall on to the train tracks while alighting from the train. This story has more questions than answers.

Every square inch of the tube system is under camera surveillance. If there was an attack the video would be all over the place.
