LONDON: A PTI supporter has been found guilty by the Westminster Magistrates’ Court of criminal damage to the Pakistan High Commission after launching a violent attack on the premises nine days after the arrest of Imran Khan on May 9 in Islamabad.
Aamir Wasim Chaudhary, 51, of Woodlands Lane, Leytonstone, East London, was charged with one count of criminal damage at the building.
The charge and conviction follow Chaudhary’s attack on Pakistan High Commission in Knightsbridge on May 18.
Scotland Yard sources have confirmed that it received an emergency call from the Pakistani authorities on the night of May 18 when Chaudhary appeared in front of the commission in London, raised slogans against the government of Pakistan and national institutions and breached the premises of the mission.
He was produced before a judge at the Westminster Magistrates’ Court, where he initially denied the charge against him but pleaded guilty to criminal damage when shown the evidence.
While declaring him guilty, the court ordered him to compensate the commission.
