Published July 10, 2018

Two Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf workers and Pakistan Muslim League - Nawaz senior leader have been arrested by the British Metropolitan Police on Monday after clashes outside Avenfield flats.

The brawl between the two parties outside Nawaz Sharif’s Avenfield property let to the arrest of the PTI workers and the PML-N UK vice-president Nasir Butt, local media reported. A mob attacked Sharif family's property on Sunday, which caused chaos and heated arguments between the groups.

A video of the clashes went viral on social media on Sunday, in which protesters were seen trying to break into Sharif family's house after Nawaz Sharif arrived there. One protester threw a shopping cart at PML-N member Ejaz Gul. The British Metropolitan Police arrived at the scene and initiated a search operation against protesters.

PML-N UK President Shakoor Khan alleged that the protesters belonged to the rival party. Later, PTI UK wing strongly condemned and denied involvement of any of the party workers in the mob attack.

PTI officials are adamant that the ongoing protests on Avenfield property are being held by Pakistanis, who are protesting against Sharif for his involvement in corruption charges.

The protests against Sharif began in London after an accountability court sentenced Nawaz, his daughter Maryam and his son-in-law captain (retd) Safdar to 10, eight and one year in jail, respectively, in Avenfield case.
