The security of Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was breached recently when he, along with his family, was returning to the federal capital from Murree. Sources in the Prime Minister’s Office said a white Prado jeep entered the Prime Minister’s squad and came close to his vehicle in Malpur area but security personnel stopped it and took its driver into custody. Vehicles in the Prime Minister’s squad escaped collision with the unexpected interception.

According to Islamabad Police spokesman Mohammad Naeem, a retired officer of the Pakistan Air Force, who at present is serving with the Arid Agriculture University, Rawalpindi, was driving the jeep. He said preliminary investigation revealed that the man had erred into the Prime Minister’s squad.

The official said the road at Malpur was quite narrow and the incident took place when it was raining in the area and other vehicles were also moving on the Prime Minister’s route.
