LONDON: A security guard of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif was indicted on Wednesday in a case related to spitting on a woman, ARY News reported.
The Crown Prosecution Service of the United Kingdom (UK) booked the security guard of Nawaz Sharif with the common assault charge.
The woman, identified as Panzai Cheema, had filed a complaint against the accused after the latter misbehaved with her in September last year.
A video of the incident went viral which showed Sharif’s guard misbehaving with the woman in London.
The journalists, who gathered around Nawaz Sharif’s residence in London, upon his brother Shehbaz Sharif’s arrival, complained about the incident. However, Sharif left the scene after saying that he would look into the matter.
