A British-Pakistani Politician has offered a £50,000 reward for information leading to the identification of suspects behind two violent attacks in Hounslow, West London. The incidents targeted both his family home and his business premises.
The British-Pakistani Politician, Umer Farooq, said the attacks caused serious damage and left his family deeply shaken. He stated that his priority is now the safety of his family and staff.
According to reports, the family home linked to the British-Pakistani Politician and fellow Conservative figure Tariq Aziz was attacked first. Bricks were thrown through windows on both the upper and lower floors. The incident caused extensive property damage.
Family members were inside the house at the time. They said children were particularly affected by the violence. A vehicle parked outside the home was also destroyed during the attack.
A second incident took place the following day. The business owned by the British-Pakistani Politician, which provides airline ticketing services, was allegedly targeted in a fire attack.
CCTV footage reportedly shows a car stopping outside the office. A masked individual then exits the vehicle, pours petrol on a car, and sets it on fire. The fire damaged the entrance of the building.
Emergency services responded quickly to the scene. Firefighters managed to control the blaze within around 15 minutes. This prevented the fire from spreading further inside the office.
The British-Pakistani Politician described the incidents as planned and coordinated. He also claimed that a stolen vehicle may have been used in the attack. However, authorities have not confirmed these details.
The attacks occurred shortly after local council elections in the area. Political tensions have been reported in parts of West London. However, no official link has been confirmed between politics and the incidents.
Police have confirmed that investigations are ongoing. Officers have collected evidence from both sites and are reviewing CCTV footage.
No suspects have been identified so far. Authorities have urged the public to come forward with any information that may assist the investigation.
The local Labour Party has denied any involvement in the attacks. Meanwhile, the British-Pakistani Politician has called for stronger protection and faster action from law enforcement.
