Anugrah Abraham, 21, was"stressed","under pressure" and"didn't receive any support", despite raising issues with his managers, his family allege.Tuesday 28 March 2023 22:07, UKParents of a student police officer who took his own life claim he was"let down" and"discriminated" against by the very force he was working for.
Anugrah's parents are now calling for an independent investigation by the police watchdog after they claim he faced discrimination, bullying and a lack of support from West Yorkshire Police and Leeds Trinity University, where he was studying. During one incident early on in his training, Anurgrah's parents claim he was forced to carry out a full body search of a corpse found in a river alone.
"The only thing he was asking was to support him. He was asking for them to understand that he was only a trainee police officer not fully qualified."West Yorkshire Police said it had referred itself to the Independent Office for Police Conduct"who deemed it appropriate that a local investigation is undertaken".
"He was discriminated against, he was singled out, he was not able to express himself because he was an Asian police officer in a predominantly white area." "I just hugged him and I left it and that was my last kiss - I did not know he's not going to come back."
