Junaid Safdar and Zakaria Sharif were detained on the evening of July 12, 2018 after Nawaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz left from Harley Street Clinic for Heathrow airport to return to Pakistan after being awarded sentences in the Avenfiled reference.
Junaid and Zakaria were met by a group of protesters as they approached the back entrance of their apartment from the Park Lane side; they were returning home after seeing off Nawaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz.
Several protests were staged outside the flats by Pakistani expats and activists of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) with demands that the demonstrations were aimed at taking possession of the Avenfield flats.

In a CCTV footage, one of the protesters wearing knuckles also threw shopping trolley at them prompting a retaliation in which one of the attackers fell on the floor.
A spokesman of Scotland Yard detailed on Tuesday that ‘officers attended’ to calls of a fight and ‘one person was taken to a central London hospital for treatment owing to minor injuries’.
‘Two men aged 20 and 23 were arrested on suspicion of assault. They were taken to a central London police station for questioning. They were subsequently released with no further action’, detailed the officer in conversation with Geo News.
The Police confirmed that both Junaid and Zakaria had been informed that no further action would be taken.
A well-placed source familiar with the case said that the police probed the case and found that both acted in self-defence.
