Met Disciplines Sikh Detective For Whisteblowing Lack of Justice for Honor Crimes

LONDON, UK—Detective Sergeant Palbinder Singh has contact UK national paper, The Daily Telegraph, to reveal inside information regarding the Crown Prosecution Service shying away from fully pursuing convictions in honor crimes cases, due to a fear of upsetting the wider Asian community.

DS Pal Singh is now being accused of gross misconduct by seniors at the Metropolitan Police for taking his complaint outside of the force. 

DS Singh is now appealing for protection under whistle-blower laws due to his employer’s reaction against his going public.

With an exemplary career record with high appraisals as recent as May of 2016, DS Singh felt his complaints to the CPS weren’t adequately dealt with and he felt crimes were being hushed due to higher focus on political correctness, rather than fair investigation for victims of such serious crimes.

Singh has been instrumental in heading domestic violence cases during his years at Scotland Yard, with cases of honor killing both in the UK and abroad receiving particular focus.

“Police in the West tend to consider such crime based on their own, Christian, Western values. In addition, this topic very sensitive to accusations of racism, so it is often treated with political correctness. All this makes a lot of crime goes under the radar – it will never be discovered”, said Singh to VG news, a Norwegian publication.

Pal Singh has had to challenge the Met Police for unfairly pursing an unsubstantiated complaint against him from an arrested drunkard, due to which Singh noticed an alarming pattern of disciplinary procedures against minority officers, when compared to those of white officers. Met senior officer issued Singh with a formal warning but he refused to accept it.

Speaking to The Daily Telegraph, Singh said,”Forced marriage is a violation of human rights, which invariably leads to marital rape and years of domestic abuse and modern slavery, with sometimes fatal consequences. If this is not a policing priority then I am content at being dismissed.”

  2. Life’s journey for our children, and everyone, is in Vahiguroo Jio Hukam, as enlightened in Gurbani (igranth.org), thus, even Guru Nanak Dev Jio could not choose His children to be the next Guru…but, Gurbani reminds, we as parents, or fellow Sikhs, or humans, could sing Vahiguroo Jio’s praises, so He could Nadar karey all, and we understand better that only VAHIGUROO JIO can choose to PUT US ON HOLY PATH, so we spared the cycle of birth or death ji_/\_
    FINALLY, BEING ON HOLY PATH, WE STILL DO NOT KNOW WHAT AWAITS US ON OTHER SIDE, because Sukhmani Sahib Jio reminds, even thinking we good just because we holy, we take us to dark afterlife ji… so Vahiguroo Jio kirpa Karin_/\_

  3. jagdish,
    AKJ GEMS WHO FOLLOW REHIT OF AKJFAQ.COM are the most in control of 5 evils, as THE HERO OF AKJ BHAI RANDHIR SINGH JIO JAIL CHITTIAN BOOK (AVAILABLE ONLINE FREE) WILL JUSTIFY. Bhai Sahib Jio IS MOST PEACEFUL SAINT SOLDIER JUST GOT DRAGGED INTO POLITICAL STRUGGLE, TORTURED IN MOST INHUMANE MANNER BY BRITISH, YET HE NEVER RETALIATED IN VIOLENCE, so please be proud that you have SUCH SIKH GEMS IN SIKH PANTH, WHO HAS PROVEN BY KEEPING ALL HUKAM OF GURU GOBIND SINGH JIO, WE CAN BE TRUE SIKHS, AND MEET VAHIGUROO…bhul chuk muaf to VAHO GEMS OF AKJ, for being dragged in mud due to some who make decision to take Khandey Batey Ki Pahul, but fail to maintain rehit, thus, the consequences…let us be helping each other jagdish ji, because Vahiguroo only knows what His Hukam for each of us will take us in challenging ocean of life _/\_

  4. Vahiguroo Jio Guru Nanak Dev Jio kirpa, as the sakhi of Guru Nanak Dev Jio children reveals, being born a Sikh, does not mean we automatically are Saints Jio, AND SAME GOES WITH ANY RELIGION, BUT THE TRUTH IS SIKHI OF GURU GOBIND SINGH JIO HAS PROVEN THAT AN ENTIRE FAMILY OF PURE GEMS OF GURU GOBIND SINGH JIO WERE SACRIFISED FOR HUMANITY AND OTHER RELIGION.
    Gurbani reminds even Sikhs have to strive hard to fight 5 evils of anger, lust, ego, greed, and attachment, besides singing Vahiguroo Jio’s praises svaas svaas/ every breath to succeed in BEING A TRUE SIKH_/\_.
    PLEASE LET US NOT ATTACK EACH OTHER’S RELIGION OR START RACIAL PROFILING JIO_/\_. EVERY HUMAN HAS TO KEEP OVERCOMING MAYA EVERY BREATH, AND THAT IS CHALLENGING ENOUGH…so please let us help each other, overcome our maya struggles, and so we all can be happy, and meet VAHIGUROO/ GOD OUR CREATOR, AS THAT IS THE TRUE PURPOSE OF LIFE.

    • Yoooo KS relax dude no one is saying all Sikhs are saints! What’s up with you and Always asking for forgiveness after your comments?!?

  5. SANT JARNAIL SINGH BHINDRANWALE STOOD UP FOR WOMEN AND WHEN HE WAS ALIVE WOMEN WHO WERE VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC ABUSE WENT TO HIM FOR PORTECTION AND MANY OF THEM WERE ALSO HINDU WOMEN WHO STOOD IN LINE TO MEET A REAL SAINT SOLDIER, INDIAN GOVERNMENT IS CORRUPT AND UNLAWFULLY KILLED SANT JARNAIL SINGH IN JUNE 1984, most men of in India are COWARDS

  6. Well that’s sad that this is still
    Going on in England or in India,.. so called
    Honour killings for Punjabi families in North America are very rare occurrences… I never said women are treated equally and don’t face issues, I know honour killing is still an issue in India and Pakistan but people from England behaving this way is ridiculous … also someone mentioned gay Sikhs… what gay Sikhs are being persecuted? Most gay Sikhs never come out of the closet because homosexuality is looked down upon but if there’s one or two rare cases that doesn’t mean that it’s an epidemic issue, I know openly gay Sikhs and people in the community just say whatever, they don’t care as long as they don’t marry other men in gurdwara, Sikh marriage is between man and woman, if gays want to get married in civil court or wherever then we Sikhs don’t care

  7. Let us address all the problems that a SIKH woman faces in name of “HONOUR”.
    We should address the problem Misogyny that exist in our community.

  8. FAO of Miss Kaur and Harinder,

    Further to your ignorant and lack of fact supported opinions.

    Please see the attached link below.

    https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/dec/17/seeta-kaur-honour-killing-india-fight-for–justice

    The TRUTH is that there are such problems in our community, like there are in other communities, just because they do not arise in conversation, the Gudwara, facebook, twitter, asian news network and other forms of media outlets, does not mean that are such issues.

    All Pal Singh is doing is ensuring cases are being heard and being a seeking the truth. Such as sikhs should do. Why else would he risk his career and position. Maybe there are somethings out there that we do not like, as the saying goes ‘truth hurts’.

  9. I note the above comments. Blind ignorance and prejudice by Sikhs!!!! “Is honour killings an issue for Sikhs in England?” And, “Sikhs do not indulge in honour killing. Sikh Girls enjoy unparalled freedom.” Utter rubbish! I will quote these comments from Sikhs in a forthcoming talk to major conference on honour killings. Just as the self-perception that there are no gays in the Sikh community?!

    See the case of Surjit Kaur Athwal, killed in a monstrous honour killing, hidden scheme by an AKJ Sikh family: https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2007/sep/20/ukcrime.prisonsandprobation
    http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/family-coventry-woman-murdered-honour-11623236

    This was a headline case, which reached criminal conviction in 2007 in the UK. Palbinder Singh, along with Clive Driscoll as the head of the Metropolitan Police investigation, cracked open this concealed almost perfect murder. They commendably exposed this potent case of what does go in behind doors, in Sikh households both in the UK and in Panjaab. The fact that you make such comments of denial, shows your gross prejudice and unwillingness to address this poison that lurks within the ‘perfect’ Sikh community, but which Sikhs wish to hide and deny. This is a criminal silence. See further:
    http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/my-people-refuse-to-talk-about-honour-killings-1845103.html
    People like Palbinder Singh and Clive Driscoll are heroes who take on such hidden crimes, and are prepared to smash through community cover up and get to the heart of the crime. Clive Driscoll, also, got to the heart of the Stephen Lawrence murder in the UK, which had remained unresolved for decades. Palbinder Singh’s conduct of Surjit’s murder case and his much other work as currently, has exposed the multiple dirty games and cover up which lurk within our community. It is all very easy to blame everything on others and particularly on Muslims. What about the sexual and emotional and physical abuse which goes on in Sikh homes in the UK and Panjaab? How many Gurdwaras in the UK are willing to discuss domestic violence and these other nasty things going on in our homes? NONE! Instead, we wish to blame everything on the Muslims, just like Modi wants to blame everything on Pakistan, and Hitler wanted to blame everything on the Jews! True Sikhs would recognise what is going and seek to address it head-on, rather than join the mass denial and inaction. What did Jagir Kaur as President of the SGPC do to her daughter! The entirety of Sikh Gurdwaras and Sikh organisations in the UK are silent on this fundamental subject, just as they are silent on the subject of caste discrimination – another rampant poison in the Sikh community! Little wonder that our community is in such a social mess, given these internal crimes, and little wonder that the Gurus do not want to know us and do not wish to be part of us. We are simply not worthy of the Guru’s support, and the Gurus do not deserve to be burdened with our decrepid criminal habits. Criminal and corrupt communities will not get the empowerment of the Gurus! Simple! Welcome your comments on the above information.

    • Anyone who kills their own daughter in the name of honour or whatever is ridiculous but I was just saying that it is not AN EPIDEMIC issue for Sikhs, these incidents are rare… I know way more Sikhs who marry non Sikhs then Sikhs who get killed in the name of
      Honour… I don’t know what world you live in but honour killings these days is still rare maybe not for England since seems like England has some bad apple and backward minded so called “Sikh” families but the vast majority of ppl, 99.9% of Sikh in England would never kill their daughter in name f honour… their are other epidemic issues that need attention… in Punjab, girls
      And boys are openly dating now too so you have to understand from both perspectives that sensatiolizing honour killings can make an entire community look barbaric… perhaps stop using terms like Sikh honour killings, when white people in England get drunk and stab each other in pubs do you say Christians killing one another?!?

      • Also it’s 2017 and your pulling out a story from 2007…. people must stop being stupid and of course people who kill their own daughters need to be arrested but dont act like it’s the entire Sikh population responsibility for honour killings, everyone condemns these acts no one supports these dumb criminals, don’t blame entire family for a stupid families decision… if any girl ever feels threatened by her own family go to
        A social worker or police officer and expose your stupid family even on social media and shame them

    • FIRST OF ALL EVERYONE IN SIKH COMMUNITY HATES JAGIR KAUR AND BADAL GIVES HER POWEr, PEOPLE HATE BADALS AND JAGIR KAUR BUT INDIA IS DISGUATING AND CORRUPT AND THEU GIVE POWER NOT ONLY TO JAGIR WHO KILLED HER OWN DAUGHTER BUT EXCUSE
      ME IF YOU CARE SO MUCH ABOUT
      WOMEN, HOW ABOUT KAMAL NATH KPS GILL AND RAJIV GANDHI AND SUMEDH SAINI WHO ALL KILLED AND RAPED SIKH WOMEN AND BURNT SIKHS AND I ALSO KNOW SOMEOBR WHOS MOTHER WAS BURNT ALIVE BUT WHY THESE PEOPLE GET POWER????? INDIAN GOVERNMENT IN 1984 allowed mobs of Hindus lead by congress and some BJP to rape Sikh girls!!!!!! How dare you lecture me about stupid jagir kaur…. if REAL SIKHS had any power in India then these disgusting criminals all would’ve been in jail…. you talk about few girls who killed by their own family how about ALL THE SIKH GIRLS KILLED BY STATE TERRORISM IN INDIA, WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU PEOPLE WHEN IT COMES TO PUTTING MASS MURDERERS AND RAPIST IN JAIL??????

  10. Vahiguroo Jio kirpa Karin Singh Soorma Nu, IT DOES EXIST KAUR JIO, a father gorged his divorced daughter’s eyes, witnessed by traumatized young grand children, when he mistakenly thought daughter was having relationship with a whom he disapproved.

    • OKAY domestic violence because people think so and so is having Exta marital affairs happen everyday in every culture etc… deifning honour killings can be challenging but I still don’t think it’s an epidemic issue in the general sikh population… AN epidemic issue means that it’s a widespread issue that affects many many families, the truth of the matter is that it’s not a GIANt issue but yes of course the people who commit these
      Crimes must go to jail and face the consequences and that’s up to the police to do an efficient job… I don’t understand what the moral outcry and panic is about… in a country such as England and Canada where law and order is usually followed why are people acting like the Sikh community is facing some huge honour killing crisis because of a few sporadic incidents? That’s all I’m asking… people commit all sorts of crimes, what society needs is to be taught about religion and morals and values

  11. Is honour killings an issue for
    Sikhs in England? I don’t think so, I’ve never heard any recent honour killings but also by Asian are they referring to Pakistanis? Who is this article referring to
