Britain’s Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has been in trouble with police after he and his family were filmed walking their dog, Nova the Labrador, in London’s Hyde Park. Signs in the park clearly state that all dogs must be kept on a leash so as not to alarm wildlife, AFP reported.

In the clip posted on TikTok, the dog can be seen roaming free. “An officer who was present at the time spoke to a woman and reminded her of the rules,” a police statement said, referring to Rishi Sunak’s wife Akshata Murty.
“The dog was put on a leash again,” police said.

However, Rishi Sunak’s spokesman has not commented on the incident. Downing Street has also declined to comment on the reports. This isn’t the first time Rishi Sunak has had trouble with the police. He has also been at the center of the controversy over breaching lockdown laws during Covid. Rishi Sunak was also fined for failing to wear a seatbelt earlier, for which he apologized, calling it an “error of discretion”.
Although Rishi Sunak has tried to project a healthier image than his predecessor Boris Johnson, who became the first British Prime Minister to be fined by police.
