British police “aware” as Nawaz Sharif breaks ‘Rule of Six’

LONDON – Police in UK capital say they are aware of Pakistan’s deposed prime minister Nawaz Sharif breaking the new “Rule of Six” that restricts a gathering of more people. 

Sharif, 70, was recently taking a stroll with PML-N’s Abid Sher Ali, Nasir Butt and others in central London when he was recorded by some Pakistanis living in that country.

The United Kingdom, at the tipping point of second wave, has imposed strict measures to curb the spike enforcing the “Rule of Six” that limits social gatherings across the European nation.

Sharif was reported to the Metropolitan Police by a social media user, who goes by the name of Radiant on Twitter.
