(PTI) London, Ta. January 11, 2020, Saturday

An Indian-origin police constable, who was falsely accused of sexually abusing a five-year-old child, was sentenced to three years in prison in Britain. Metropolitan Police Officer Hitesh Lakhani has pleaded guilty to sexually abusing a child worker employed by a local authority in West London over a dispute over not cleaning his garden.

In September 2018, Lakhani, 42, phoned the police and said that a five-year-old boy was seen pointing to a tree while the mother of the girl was walking in a residential area in London's Oxbridge area.

Kingston's Crown Court sentenced him to three years in prison for obstruction of justice and making a false case after trial in a trial court last month that Hitesh's allegations were false. "I hope this case reminds people that anyone Not big, or not above the law, "said David Javis, senior counsel at UK Crown Court.

The judge said: "The most worrying part of the case was that despite being a police officer himself, he had presented a credible witness in a serious charge even though the identified suspect was there." The victim's implication is that he was very subtle, but we could prove that Lakhani's allegations were fictitious and baseless, "David said.

Lakhani claimed that when the mother of the child felt missing and cried to find her, the accused was forced to remove her pants and keep the baby's hand on her. But during this period she escaped.

Lakhani said that he had apprehended the accused and also took photos of them which he gave to the police when he came to investigate. The photo was circulated on local police social media to identify the alleged perpetrator. The phenomenon that sexually exploited didn't happen. '

These baseless allegations were made against a hard working man by a police officer who was employed. Akhilesh Lakhani called the police saying he had found himself sexually exploited. However, this did not happen. In fact, there was a fight to cut down a tree on the road in front of Lakhani's house. Nothing was found in the investigation, "David said.
