London, Nov 4 (NationPress) Six months after reportedly suffering an assault by a group of British-Pakistani individuals, a Sikh man named Harman Singh Kapoor has expressed his frustration at the UK Metropolitan Police for their perceived inaction regarding the attackers. He claims that, despite presenting evidence and making multiple appeals, the authorities have exhibited a "complete indifference" towards the case.
In a recent post on social media, Kapoor reiterated his disappointment, alleging that both the Metropolitan Police and London Mayor Sadiq Khan have neglected his case and failed to ensure justice against the assailants.
"Remember, Metropolitan Police, you arrested me for defending myself against a gang of inbred Pakistanis. You confined me for 20 hours, treating me as a criminal, taking my DNA, fingerprints, and even the reference number for my Rolex, in a desperate attempt to accuse me of something. Yet, you found NOTHING. Instead of protecting me, you attempted to destroy me. SHAME ON YOU. Where's the update on my case? Are you still holding my DNA and fingerprints as if I’m the criminal?" Kapoor stated on X.
"It’s been 6 months since I faced an attack from a Pakistani gang. My wife had to call 999, and rather than protecting me, the police arrested me for defending myself after I called them 'Bloody Pakistanis'. Meanwhile, my attackers remain free, enjoying the protection of a system that favors them. Sadiq Khan, your failed policies have granted them a free pass. What’s the status of this case, Metropolitan Police?" he added in another post, criticizing the ongoing inaction.
The situation has sparked renewed discussions regarding racial bias and policing practices in London. Numerous social media users have shown support for Kapoor, advocating for transparency and a review of how racially charged incidents are handled.
Many have also called for an independent inquiry into the police's response and the broader implications for minority communities seeking justice.
