Sara Sharif’s grandfather told the BBC that five children who went from the UK to Pakistan with Sara’s father have been taken away from his house, where they were hiding.
The people next door said that many police officers searched the house on Monday.
A 10-year-old girl was found dead in her family’s house in Woking on August 10th. Her father and his partner had left the country the day before.
The tests after Sara’s death showed that she had many severe injuries.
Sara’s grandfather, Muhammad Sharif, said that he hid the children in his home in a city called Jhelum in the north-eastern part of the country. However, he didn’t mention for how long the children stayed there.
On Monday, a little before 4:30 PM local time (11:30 AM GMT), the BBC was informed by neighbors that the police had come to search the house.
People who saw what happened said to the BBC that many police officers gathered outside the building, made the cars stop and didn’t let anyone record videos with their phones.
Mr Sharif said that the police took all five children away.
He said that the officers broke his home’s cameras and gates. He had previously said many times that he didn’t talk to his son or know where the family was.
The police said they have the kids. Sara’s dad, stepmom, and Uncle Faisal Malik were not there with them.
A person who lives nearby told the BBC that the police, including female police officers, went into the house with force. They broke the security camera at the door and went inside. While inside, additional police officers came outside and halted the flow of vehicles. They prevented people from using their mobile phones to film.
On Friday, Muhammad Sharif told the BBC that he had told his son Urfan Sharif to give himself up to the police two or three days ago.
He and his family say that the police have bothered them, held some of them without a reason, and searched their houses without permission. Muhammad Sharif also claimed that the police made up false charges against them to make things even more difficult.
The police said it didn’t happen.
