LONDON: An unknown man tried to break in the room of former Prime Minster Nawaz Sharif's wife Begum Kulsoom Nawaz at the Harley Street clinic on Saturday, Geo News reported.
The man, who was later identified as Naveed Farooq, used an ID card posing to be a doctor employed at the hospital, in order to get past security.
Nawaz Sharif's son Hussain Nawaz said in a statement that such incidences cause distress to his family during tough times.
