Scotland Yard is to be sued for racism by its most senior Asian officer after mediation talks between the two sides broke down.
The Metropolitan police assistant commissioner, Tarique Ghaffur, will lodge formal papers outlining his complaints with an employment tribunal, it was revealed tonight. Colleagues say there is "compelling" evidence of bullying, discrimination and victimisation against the officer.
Solicitors acting on behalf of Ghaffur informed the force of the move today. The decision leaves the Met commissioner, Sir Ian Blair, facing a painful legal showdown with one of his closest colleagues.
Ghaffur is said to have compiled a dossier detailing what he claims is victimisation by Blair and the police authority chairman, Len Duvall. Both men have denied in the strongest terms that they behaved inappropriately in any way.
