Metropolitan Police rejected arresting activists of a Pakistan-based political party (MQM) on Sunday, local media reported.
According to sources, the London police came up with this clarification in the wake of a news item claiming the arrests- that went viral on social media.
The Metropolitan Police in a statement termed such reports as groundless fabrications.
Meanwhile, more than 1,000 Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) loyalists converged at 10 Downing Street to lodge their protest against Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain, who PTI claimed had threatened its demonstrators in Karachi with dire consequences during a telephonic speech.
