Shock in Sara Sharif Case as Police Seize Five Children in Pakistan Raid
Children Taken from Grandfather’s Home Amid Intense Investigation
In a stunning development in the Sara Sharif murder case, five children have been taken into police custody in Pakistan. They were found at the home of Sara’s grandfather, Muhammad Sharif, after travelling from the UK with Sara’s father, Urfan Sharif. The grandfather revealed this explosive update to BBC News, as authorities continue to investigate the tragic death of 10-year-old Sara.
Sara’s Lifeless Body Found with Horrific Injuries
Sara Sharif’s body was discovered at the family home in Woking on August 10. Post-mortem revealed she suffered “multiple and extensive injuries,” sparking a sweeping international probe. Shockingly, Sara’s father and his partner fled the UK the day before her death, leaving the fate of their children unknown — until now.
Police Raid Raises Questions Over Children’s Safety
Neighbours in the north-eastern Pakistani city of Jhelum reported a heavy police presence at Muhammad Sharif’s home on Monday. Eyewitnesses described dozens of officers storming the property, breaking CCTV cameras and sealing off the area to prevent mobile phone filming. Muhammad Sharif confirmed that all five children were taken into custody but denied knowing the whereabouts of Urfan Sharif, his son, or his family.
A local witness said, “Police officers, including female officers, raided the house. They broke the CCTV at the entrance and stopped everyone from filming.”
Family Pleas and Ongoing Search for Suspects
Previously, Muhammad Sharif had urged his son to surrender to police. Urfan Sharif and his partner Beinash Batool left the UK with their five children, aged between one and 13, and UK police are actively seeking to question them over Sara’s death.
In a tearful interview with Polish TV show Uwaga!, Sara’s mother Olga Sharif opened up about the devastating loss. She described the heartache of seeing her daughter’s injuries and the deep grief that continues to haunt her and the wider community.
