There must be a root and branch investigation into the culture of racism, misogyny, and Islamophobia in every police service in England and Wales.
That is the demand from south Asian and black MPs, as well as serving and past police officers.
They have told Eastern Eye that they do not believe the Metropolitan Police are the only force to have this problem.
According to a Labour MP, the police have a culture of “covering up”, while a serving officer said that the service had a “code of silence” akin to organised criminal gangs.
Writing exclusively in this newspaper, the Labour MP for Brent Central, Dawn Butler made the case for change.
“Strong leadership means building an organisational culture in which public service trumps self-preservation,” she wrote.
“The culture of cover-up cannot continue.
“Strong organisations want to improve and know that exposing and addressing institutional failures is part of righting the wrongs.”

The final nail seemed to be the revelation by the police watchdog, the IOPC, that officers from Charing Cross had joked about rape and exchanged offensive social media messages.
Khan acknowledged that poor policing culture was a UK-wide problem.
“We've got to make sure that police forces across the country, there are 43, are free from a culture that allows racism, sexism, misogyny, Islamophobia to exist and, in some places, to flourish,” he told this newspaper, mere hours before Dick resigned.
“One of the reasons why I feel so disgusted and angry is that it wasn't just one officer, it was 14. It wasn't historic, it wasn’t isolated.”

In recent months, the Met had been criticised for a series of errors - from its handling of parties in Downing Street during lockdown to the policing of a vigil for Sarah Everard, who was raped and murdered by a serving police officer, Wayne Couzens.
Met failures
Two other serving Met officers were jailed for taking photos of two murdered women and sharing them on WhatsApp.
The London mayor felt the commissioner had failed to come up with a plan to tackle serious issues in her force.
Khan revealed to Eastern Eye that he was not aware until very recently that nine of the 14 investigated were still in the Met and two had been promoted.

“I discovered this last week,” he said. “That's why it's so important for us to redouble our efforts to earn confidence.
“It's not a right. We have to have the confidence of people whose confidence has been shaken, 14 officers, some of the language, I can’t repeat it.
“Nine still serving, two promoted, it beggar’s belief.”
Meanwhile, there seems to be a change in attitude towards racism at the top of the force since Dick’s decision to quit.
Javid is responsible for professional standards in his force, and he said there was "absolutely no room for racism in policing, especially here in the Metropolitan Police”.
He told the BBC, “If people are found to be racist or discriminatory in any way, then I will do absolutely everything I can to make sure they're removed from the police.”
Analysis by the BBC’s Shared Data Unit, which supplies figures to Eastern Eye and other publications, revealed on Friday (11) that Independent Office for Police Complaints (IOPC) felt “police forces often frustrated proceedings by providing only a written statement instead of an interview”.
It also exposed that in 181 cases the IOPC felt “a reasonable tribunal could find misconduct in respect of the individuals involved”.
• Those 181 cases involved a combined total of 244 police officers and 59 staff.
• Misconduct was proven in the case of 150 officers (67 per cent of the 224 who had not left the force); 37 staff (75 per cent of the 49 who had not left the force).
Wider police problem
The president of the National Black Police Association, Andy George, agreed it was not just a problem in the Met.
“We see this behaviour across most police services throughout the United Kingdom, so it's not just a Met issue,” he said.
“While the police services are a reflection of society, we're also held to a higher account.
“We shouldn't be displaying the same behaviours as general society.
“People operate within the boundaries that you're allowed to operate within, and it's those boundaries which have been pushed further and further apart with the Metropolitan Police and the Charing Cross incidents.
“The failure, I think, for policing, is not dealing with these issues, and for some police leaders to be more concerned with their reputational damage than they are with dealing with the very real needs of victims is what’s stymieing progress.”
Leaders burying their heads in the sand is a major problem, said George.
“It's that reluctance to accept that there is an issue. We had a discussion within the last few weeks in policing around whether the police are still institutionally racist
“Police leaders in the United Kingdom are more open to the discussion than they ever have been.
“But we're still at that stage where we're afraid to actually admit what's actually going on.
“It's not a reflection of anybody's particular leadership style. It's just a by-product of what's been allowed to go on in the past, and which is still rife at this moment in time.
“If we actually admit the full scale of the problem, then we can put meaningful solutions in place to tackle it.”
‘Turning a blind eye’
Labour’s Birmingham Perry Barr MP, Khalid Mahmood, explained how his south Asian constituents have complained about the service they get from West Midlands Police.
Khalid Mahmood
“The West Midlands Police is no different from the Met,” he said. “It has all of those and more.
“I've got a number of people complaining in my constituency about people being harassed.
“The way they've been arrested, the way people have been stopped and searched.
“There have been issues around gang crime, which has not been dealt with, really all sorts of illegal activities.
“The police service turn a blind eye, and it's an absolute disaster. There is no real policing, people are afraid, and they have to look after themselves.
“They are afraid to go and report anything, because the police will not do anything at all.”
He now wants a root and branch investigation into every police force, not just the Met.
“There are a number of cases that I've been dealing with where the police have completely ignored the issue,” said the MP.
“The way it's been dealt with, people are absolutely at their wit's end, where the police have not been able to investigate their issues.
“They just feel totally let down by the whole thing. Literally every single crime, from being mugged to being raped, to being beaten up, in some instances, being killed.”
Assistant director of diversity & inclusion at West Midlands Police, Dr Darren Ralph told Eastern Eye, “We will not tolerate discrimination in any form and any police officer or member of staff found to have behaved in such a manner can expect to be dismissed.
“There is no place for racism or any other form of discrimination in policing and if we don’t tackle it internally, we cannot expect the public, particularly those from Black, Asian and ethnic minority communities, to put their trust in us.
“It’s disappointing to hear Mr Mahmood’s views. Our door is always open to him should he wish to raise any issues or concerns.”

Mahmood’s Labour colleague in Bradford West, Naz Shah, told Eastern Eye that she was a critical friend of West Yorkshire Police.
She believed that UK policing was the best in the world.
Even so, Shah said that after the problems brought up in the Met, policing needed to change its overall culture.
“There have to be some brave conversations, and those are the most difficult, but those brave conversations are the ones that can lead to real change,” she said.
“There is work to be done, and it's been slow progress, but we have to continue with that.
“We have to work with people. Charing Cross was appalling, it took us back 20 years to when Stephen Lawrence was murdered and the idea of institutional racism.
“There’s clearly a culture that needs to be shifted, and I think it's really important for the incoming person to understand these nuances to be able to deal with them.”
Weak leadership
Former detective superintendent, Shabnam Chaudhri, knows all about institutional racism in the Met.
In 1999, she confronted her force about it, after which she was singled out as a troublemaker.
Shabnam Chaudhri
While she was saddened to see the commissioner forced to quit, Chaudhri explained why the police needed to tackle the issues of racism, sexism, misogyny, and Islamophobia.
“That culture has been well embedded within the organisation for many, many years, and across policing throughout the UK,” she said.
The former detective superintendent left the Met in 2019 after 30 years, proud to have served the communities of London.
What disappointed her about the first female commissioner was that Dick refused to accept that the Met remained institutionally racist on her watch.
“Police officers don’t understand what the definition is of institutional racism.
“Institutional racism is when systems and processes disadvantage black or minority officers, when it comes to promotion processes, when it comes to lateral progression, and when it comes to discipline.”
But one of the biggest problems, she said, is leadership.
“Somebody will make a complaint, call out behaviours which are unprofessional and inappropriate.
“They then are subjected to being isolated or targeted by colleagues, direct line managers,
“That complainant will then go on to make a further complaint.
“What happens is, the line managers speak to senior leaders tell them their side of the story, and the senior leaders take on face value what they've been told without any form of conversation with the complainant.
“Before you know it, they've closed ranks, and the complainant is then being discriminated against.
“They're being subjected to further victimisation, bullying, denied opportunities and then seen as a troublemaker.”
That targeting of individual officers brave enough to call out unacceptable behaviour leads to a fear of whistleblowing, she said.
That in turn allows a culture of racism, sexism, misogyny and Islamophobia to flourish, suggested the NBPA president, Andy George.
“For black, Asian and other ethnically diverse officers and staff, I think it's a real fear about bringing forward some of those issues.
“Some of that is prevented, it’s that stigma, not just about the organisation, but on their ability to continue working there.
“It's about how their colleagues are going to respond to them. There’s that silence. It's almost like omerta within organised crime groups where you are not allowed to speak out.
“If you do, you're seen to be not one of the boys or one of the people within the organisation.
“That's the wrong attitude to have, and whilst that can happen to any officer, it's definitely amplified if you're from a black, Asian or other ethnically diverse background.”
Non-white police chiefs
In the history of UK policing, only one ethnic minority has run his own force as chief constable.
That was Mike Fuller who led Kent Police between 2004 and 2010.
During that time only a handful of south Asian and black officers had the potential to become chief constables.
Even today, according to latest Home Office figures, only five non-white officers are so-called “chief officers”, the rank of assistant chief constables and above.
In 2007, that figure was seven.
One of the five of today’s crop, Wasim Chaudhry, is a temporary assistant chief constable at Greater Manchester.
Only one, Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu, is of chief constable rank.
George told Eastern Eye having people of colour at the head of a police force would be one way of helping change culture.
“We've seen a lot of action around the violence against women and girls, and it's quite right that that's happening,” he said.
“The reason that's happening is because police chiefs have a personal connection, or an emotional connection to those issues.
“Because of 17 chief officers are women, the fact is as female they are able to push forward their own experiences.”
The other thing which will make a huge difference is access to the top table.
“You need people not just at the highest levels, as in chief constables or commissioners, you need it across the board.
“All of the business that gets done, doesn't get done in the meetings which we attend.
“They get done over coffee, they get done over meetings and lunch.
“A lot of the meetings are just a tick box of what's already been decided beforehand.
“So, that's the key. If we have people from black or Asian backgrounds sitting at the highest levels and every level of the organisation, that is going to allow us to share our experiences, to share the kind of the really deeply emotional issues which racism provides.”
An urgent warning has been issued in the UK after several popular Jolly Rancher sweet products were recalled due to the presence of banned ingredients linked to cancer. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has confirmed that certain products, including Jolly Rancher Hard Candy, ‘Misfits’ Gummies, Hard Candy Fruity 2 in 1, and Berry Gummies, are affected.
These sweets, produced by American confectionery giant Hershey, were found to contain Mineral Oil Aromatic Hydrocarbons (MOAH) and Mineral Oil Saturated Hydrocarbon (MOSH), both of which are derived from crude oil and have been associated with serious health risks, including cancer.
Products removed but some still on sale
Hershey has informed UK authorities that it has taken steps to withdraw the affected products from the British market. However, the FSA has warned that some Jolly Rancher sweets containing these harmful substances are still being sold in shops, and local authorities have been urged to act.
Consumers are advised not to eat them and to dispose of them safelyiStock
The FSA stated: “Consumption of the affected sweets is of toxicological concern, especially in younger age groups and where consumers eat a lot of the products or eat them regularly.”
Consumers who have purchased the recalled items are advised not to eat them and to dispose of them safely. While the risk to individuals who have already consumed the sweets is considered low, the presence of MOAH and MOSH means they are not compliant with UK food safety laws.
Growing concerns over US imports
The Jolly Rancher recall is the latest in a series of warnings about American food products being sold in the UK with banned or harmful ingredients. Earlier this year, various sweets, drinks, and snacks imported from the United States – including Fanta Pineapple, Mountain Dew, Swedish Fish, Prime Hydration, Cheetos Crunchy, and Twizzlers – were found to contain substances not approved in the UK.
Among the banned additives were brominated vegetable oil (BVO), used in Mountain Dew, and Red Dye 3, a colouring found in jelly beans and preserved cherries. White mineral oil, also used in many US-made sweets, was another concerning ingredient.
Dr Pepper recall raises additional alarm
Separately, US authorities have recalled over 19,000 cans of Dr Pepper Zero Sugar due to mislabelling. The product, manufactured by Pepsi Beverages Company, was found to contain sugar despite being marketed as sugar-free. The error poses significant risks to individuals with diabetes or those who need to control their sugar intake.
Initially labelled as a voluntary recall, the incident has now been escalated to a Class II recall by the US Food and Drug Administration, meaning consumption may lead to temporary or medically reversible adverse health effects.
Health risks of hidden ingredients
These recent incidents have drawn attention to the growing trend of importing American products into the UK without full compliance checks. Experts warn that continued exposure to banned or mislabelled ingredients can pose long-term health risks, especially for vulnerable groups such as children and people with chronic health conditions.
The FSA continues to monitor the situation and has urged consumers to remain vigilant, particularly when buying imported food and drink products online or from independent retailers.

Rescue and relief work underway following the Air India plane crash, in Ahmedabad. (PTI Photo)
ONE survivor walked away from the Air India aircraft that crashed at Ahmedabad airport earlier this morning (12), according to the latest reports from India.
Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, 40, a UK national, was in seat 11A of the Air India Flight 171 bound for London Gatwick when it crashed shortly after take off from Ahmedabad with 242 people on board.
Initial reports suggested there were no survivors following the accident.
However, Kumar Ramesh was quoted as saying that seconds after take-off, “there was a loud noise and then the plane crashed”.
He told local media in India, “When I got up, there were bodies all around me. I was scared. I stood up and ran.
“There were pieces of the plane all around me. Someone grabbed hold of me and put me in an ambulance and brought me to the hospital.”
Two other British passengers believed to have been travelling on the aircraft were named as Fiongal and Jamie Greenlaw-Meek, who run a spiritual wellness centre and yoga studio in south London.
They spoke of their “magical experience” in India, adding they experienced “mind-blowing things”.
British Indian businessman Surinder Arora told Sky News a distant family member was on board the aircraft.
The UK government said it was sending a team to support the investigation into the Air India crash in Ahmedabad.

In a statement, the UK Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) said it “has formally offered its assistance to the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau, India.
“We are deploying a multidisciplinary investigation team to India to support the Indian led investigation.”
Britain has set up crisis teams in Delhi and London to support the families of those on board the Air India Flight 171, foreign secretary David Lammy informed parliament.
“My thoughts and I’m sure those of the entire House are with those who have been affected by the tragic plane crash in India this morning,” Lammy told MPs.
“We know that British nationals were on board and I can confirm that the FCDO (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) is working urgently with local authorities to support British nationals and their families, and has stood up a crisis team in both Delhi and in London,” he said.
The Tata Group said will provide Rs 10 million (£95,000) to the family of each person who died in the Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad on Thursday.
In the message posted by Tata Group on X, the company said it will cover the medical expenses of those injured and ensure that they receive all necessary care and support.
"Additionally, we will provide support in the building up of the BJ Medical's hostel,” Tata Group and Air India chairman N Chandrasekaran said.
"We remain steadfast in standing with the affected families and communities during this unimaginable time," he said.
A US government agency that investigates civil aviation accidents said it would lead a team of American investigators to India to assist in the investigation of the crash.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said in a post on X that it will be “leading a team of US investigators travelling to India to assist the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau with its investigation into the crash of an Air India Boeing 787 in Ahmedabad, India, Thursday.”

It added that as per international protocols under the International Civil Aviation Organisation, all information on the investigation will be provided by the Government of India.

The crown for the most expensive celebrity-owned home in India has now passed on
For decades, Shah Rukh Khan’s ocean-facing mansion, Mannat, stood as the pinnacle of Bollywood royalty. Located in Mumbai’s upscale Bandra area, the house wasn’t just a home—it was a symbol. Fans from around the world still gather outside its gates, hoping for a glimpse of the man often called the “King of Bollywood.”
But the crown for the most expensive celebrity-owned home in India has now passed on.
Kapoor-Bhatt mansion takes the lead
Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, one of Bollywood’s most celebrated couples, have completed work on a sprawling new bungalow in Bandra, reportedly worth over ₹250 crore—approximately €27 million. This figure eclipses the estimated value of Mannat, which stands around ₹200 crore or €22 million.
This isn’t just a luxurious residence. It’s a bold statement of the couple’s rising status in the industry. Their new property signals that a new generation of Bollywood royalty has arrived.
Personal touches and prime location
The Kapoor-Bhatt bungalow blends cutting-edge architecture with personal design choices. Both actors were deeply involved in shaping the interiors and layout, working closely with architects to ensure the space reflected their tastes and lifestyle.

The home’s location adds further weight to its emotional and symbolic value. It is situated close to Krishna Raj Bungalow, the former home of Ranbir Kapoor’s late father Rishi Kapoor, preserving a connection to the actor’s heritage and childhood memories.
A shift in Bollywood’s property powerhouses
While Mannat remains an iconic destination undergoing renovation, it no longer holds the top spot in Mumbai’s ultra-premium celebrity housing market. Other high-profile residences, like Amitabh Bachchan’s Jalsa in Juhu, are estimated at around ₹125 crore (€13.5 million), making Ranbir and Alia’s mansion the clear front-runner in terms of value.

This €27 million investment isn’t just about luxury—it marks a turning point in how star power is defined in modern Bollywood. Kapoor and Bhatt, both at the top of their careers, are not only dominating cinema but also influencing lifestyle trends and property benchmarks.
A family home for the future
The couple are reportedly planning to make the mansion their permanent residence, raising their daughter Raha in one of Mumbai’s most exclusive neighbourhoods. The property offers them privacy, security, and all the comforts needed for their growing family.
The design also reflects a desire for permanence—this isn’t a status symbol to flip or rent, but a long-term home meant to reflect their legacy.
A new chapter in Bollywood’s legacy
The purchase of this home is being seen as symbolic of the shifting tides in Bollywood. While Mannat and Shah Rukh Khan continue to command respect and fan devotion, there’s no denying that the torch is being passed.
Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt’s new home is not just Mumbai’s most expensive celebrity bungalow—it’s also a sign of the generational shift taking place in Indian cinema. The glamour, wealth, and global reach once associated with SRK are now being matched by the power couple of the new era.
This isn’t just a real estate story. It’s a reflection of changing icons, growing ambitions, and the evolution of stardom in Bollywood.

Keir Starmer at London Tech Week in London on Monday (9)
MORE THAN 350 technology companies from India joined London Tech Week, which began on Monday – making it the largest-ever delegation from the country to attend the event.
London mayor Sadiq Khan’s office, City Hall, described the rise in Indian participation as a reflection of deepening ties between India and London’s tech sectors, following the recent signing of the India– UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA).
Prime minister Sir Keir Starmer unveiled a £187-million government “TechFirst” programme to bring digital skills and AI learning into classrooms and communities, training people of all ages and backgrounds for the tech careers of the future.
He also announced the launch of “Extract” – an AI assistant for planning officers and local councils developed by the UK government with support from Google.
Speaking at the London Tech Week, Starmer said, “For too long, our outdated planning system has held back our country – slowing down the development of vital infrastructure and making it harder to get the homes we need built.
“With Extract, we’re harnessing the power of AI to help planning officers cut red tape, speed up decisions, and unlock the new homes for hard-working people as part of our Plan for Change. It’s a bold step forward in our mission to build 1.5 million more homes and deliver a planning system that’s fit for the 21st century.”
London Tech Week is the UK’s largest technology event, held annually in June and brings together over 45,000 attendees from more than 90 countries, including innovators, investors, tech leaders, and policymakers.
Among Indian companies taking part are a mix of high growth and established firms such as The Black Box, Digi Osmosis, Bahwan CyberTek, Arya.ai, Mphasis, Helios Batteries, Fynd, Hyperready, MoneyHOP, Siam Computing.
Hemin Bharucha, chief representative of the mayor of London and regional director for India and the Middle East at London & Partners, noted the growing presence of Indian companies in London.
“London continues to be a preferred destination for Indian innovators and investors looking to scale globally, supported by a dynamic ecosystem that nurtures collaboration, innovation, and growth,” said Bharucha.
“Our record-breaking delegation at London Tech Week 2025 highlights the immense potential and ambition of Indian tech firms to contribute to London’s thriving technology landscape,” he added.
London & Partners, as the UK capital’s growth agency supported by the mayor of London, said it hoped to promote deeper partnerships and support Indian businesses as they expand in the UK.
“This collaboration not only strengthens bilateral ties, but also positions London and India at the forefront of the global tech revolution,” added Bharucha.
Over the past three years, India has emerged as the largest investor in London.
London & Partners figures show that 31 new Indian companies were established in London in 2023, followed by 23 in 2024, and a “game changing” nine companies have already set up in just the first two months of this new financial year. Earlier this year, fintech firms such as Paytm, India’s largest digital payments app, announced plans to invest in the UK to accelerate access to affordable digital payments and credit for small businesses.
WNS, a digital-led business transformation services company founded in India with a $2.7 billion (£2bn) market cap, will expand their London presence with a new office alongside an AI design hub. Similarly, Mphasis, an Indian tech business which has established an Innovation hub in London last year, is exploring how to scale their operations in the country. Ashish Devalekar, executive vice president and head of Europe, Mphasis, said, “The UK remains an innovation powerhouse and a global hub for world-leading businesses and talent. At Mphasis, we have steadily expanded our presence in the region over the past years, and we are now on the trajectory to double the headcount through our London Innovation Hub which we opened late last year.
“This centre is a testimony to our commitment to the UK and its vibrant tech scene and will be a focal point for developing next-generation solutions in AI, quantum computing, and beyond.”

Don't Miss Fanna-Fi-Allah's Enchanting Qawwali Performance
London is set to host an unforgettable night of spiritual depth and musical brilliance as the renowned Sufi qawwali ensemble Fanna-Fi-Allah brings their celebrated performance to Union Chapel on Friday, 27 June. Located at 19b Compton Terrace, the historic and acoustically rich venue in Islington will come alive with the passionate, poetic and soul-stirring sounds of qawwali — a centuries-old devotional music tradition rooted in the mystical practices of Sufism. This much-anticipated concert promises to be a transcendent cultural experience, fusing ancient rhythm, powerful vocals and heartfelt devotion in a way that deeply resonates with audiences from all walks of life.
Fanna-Fi-Allah, an ensemble revered across continents for their authentic interpretations of classical qawwali, continues to preserve and elevate this spiritual art form with integrity and passion. With decades of dedication and training under legendary qawwals in Pakistan and India, the group has become one of the most respected global ambassadors of Sufi music. Their performances are marked by an electrifying blend of tabla, harmonium, handclaps and rich vocal harmonies that build to ecstatic crescendos — transporting listeners into a meditative and emotional state known in the Sufi tradition as haal.
The ensemble’s name, Fanna-Fi-Allah, translates to “annihilation in the divine,” reflecting the central Sufi concept of dissolving the ego in union with the divine presence. This philosophy echoes through every note they sing, drawing from the works of revered Sufi poets such as Rumi, Bulleh Shah, Amir Khusrow and Kabir. The group’s musical journey is not merely performance but devotion — a sacred offering intended to uplift and connect hearts across linguistic, cultural and spiritual boundaries.
Over the years, Fanna-Fi-Allah has performed at some of the world’s leading world music festivals and venues, including in the United States, Europe, Australia, and South Asia. Their London appearance offers UK audiences a rare opportunity to witness the spiritual intensity and cultural richness of qawwali performed with deep respect for its origins. This performance at Union Chapel — a space renowned for its architectural beauty and spiritual ambiance — will only enhance the depth of the experience.
As interest in spiritual and world music continues to grow, events like this serve as a powerful reminder of the enduring relevance of sacred traditions. In a time when many seek moments of stillness, connection and meaning, the devotional energy of Fanna-Fi-Allah’s qawwali offers something more than entertainment — it offers healing, remembrance, and transcendence.
Tickets and event details are available at www.unionchapel.org.uk. Don’t miss the opportunity to be part of this rare and powerful musical gathering — one that bridges centuries of Sufi tradition with the vibrancy of modern global audiences.
