London police take Nawaz Sharif's grandsons into custody
Ousted premier Nawaz Sharif's grandsons Junaid Safdar and Zakaria Sharif were taken into custody by London police on Thursday after they reportedly got enraged and beat a man outside Avenfield House, DawnNewsTV reported.
According to initial reports, protesters had gathered outside the Avenfield residence where a man is believed to have hurled abuses towards Maryam Nawaz's son Junaid and his cousin Zakaria, prompting them to lose their cool and proceed to grab the man by the collar and punch him.
The protesters notified the police officials present in the vicinity who took Junaid and Zakaria into custody and shifted them to a nearby police station.
"The protesters gathered outside Avenfield House spat at me and tried to attack me," said Junaid Safdar while police was taking him away.
Meanwhile, Nawaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz have left for Heathrow Airport from where they will be flying to Abu Dhabi.
