Nawaz Sharif cars vandalised in London have drawn fresh attention after two vehicles linked to the former prime minister were damaged, with windows smashed and some glass panels removed. Accounts of the episode describe unidentified people targeting the cars in the British capital. A Sharif family spokesperson confirmed the damage and said it was the third such incident involving his vehicles there.
What police and CCTV show
Information shared with reporters says the Metropolitan Police — London’s main police force — have taken possession of CCTV footage. The recording is said to show two masked young men removing window glass from the vehicles. That material is expected to help officers try to identify those responsible.
The identities of the suspects and their motives remain unknown. No arrests have been confirmed. Separate accounts also describe a side mirror on one of the cars as smashed, and glass sections as taken away.
What the Sharif family says
A spokesperson for the Sharif family confirmed that the vehicles had been damaged two days before that confirmation. The spokesperson said this was the third such incident involving Nawaz Sharif’s cars in London. Nawaz Sharif is a former prime minister and president of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), one of Pakistan’s major political parties.
The latest damage has again raised questions about how vehicles linked to the former prime minister and his family are secured during stays in London. Motives behind the vandalism have not been established in public statements so far.
Timeline: what has happened so far
- July 2018: Protesters tried to force their way into the Sharif family’s Avenfield residence in central London; police were called, and clashes between rival political supporters led to arrests.
- May 2021: Four unidentified men, three of them masked, tried to enter the London office of Nawaz Sharif’s son Hassan Nawaz while the former prime minister was inside; the incident was reported to police, and PML-N leaders alleged an intended attack.
- October 2026: Two vehicles belonging to Nawaz Sharif were vandalised in London, with windows smashed and glass panels removed; a family spokesperson later confirmed the damage and said it was the third car-related incident of this kind in the city.
What happens next
Investigators are expected to use the CCTV to pursue identification. Until police name suspects or explain a motive, the Nawaz Sharif car attack remains an unresolved vandalism and theft case rather than a fully explained security episode. Further official updates would normally come from the Metropolitan Police or the family if more details are cleared for release.
Aasan alfaaz mein
London mein Nawaz Sharif ki do gaariyan kharab kar di gayi hain. Windowon ka sheesha tora gaya aur kuch hisson ke saath le bhi jaya gaya. CCTV par do mask pehne hue log dikhai diye hain, lekin abhi koi giraftari confirm nahi. Family ke mutabiq yeh London mein un ki gaariyon se juda teesra aisa waqia hai.
