Ousted premier Nawaz Sharif’s grandson Junaid Safdar on Tuesday debunked social media reports claiming that he was arrested by Scotland Yard in London.
Earlier, a video circulating on Twitter showed PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz’s son being taken in a police van for allegedly obtaining a fake degree.
However, in a statement issued on Tuesday, Junaid said the news regarding his arrest was fake. “For those who have a short memory, this video is from 2018.
I was arrested after responding in self-defense to an attack instigated by a group of PTI goons who took no time in turning tail,” he clarified.
