LONDON: The British Transport Police (BTP) have responded to the incident of the prominent Pakistan politician Naeem Bukhari in London.
BTP said that no “murder attempt” was made on prominent Pakistani lawyer Naeem Bukhari who remains admitted in St Mary’s Hospital after sustaining injuries on the night of 1st May.
Reports in Pakistani media claimed that the BTP are treating the April 27 incident at Marble Arch involving Naeem Bukhari as “attempted murder” but a spokesman of the police told The News over the phone that the Police has no record of Naeem Bukhari being attacked for his life.
The police clarified that the victim attacked on the night of 27th April was leading industrialist Sir Robert Malpas, 90, who was allegedly pushed in front of a train by another man. The former Eurotunnel chairman was saved by a heroic bystander Riyad El-Hassani, 24.
The British Transport Police spokesman said that with help from the CCTV cameras it has already arrested and charged a man in connection with murder attempt on Sir Malpas. The BTP said that Paul William Crossley, of Leyton High Road, London, has been charged with attempted murder on the life of Sir Mapls, he appeared before the Westminster Magistrates Court on 30th April and has been remanded into custody.
Crossley will appear again at Blackfriars Crown Court on May 29.
The spokesman said that it appealed to members of the public for information and didn’t say at any stage that it was looking for anyone of “Asian descent”.
