Network Rail worker wins race harassment case after EDL leaflet left in locker

Company found to have had ‘laissez-faire’ attitude to bullying of Parmjit Bassi, whose colleagues also accused him of knife attack

A Network Rail worker has won a race harassment case after his colleagues left an anti-Islam English Defence League [EDL] leaflet in his locker.

Parmjit Bassi, who is not a Muslim, was found to have been the victim of a racist attack when his co-worker stuffed an EDL leaflet in his locker that asked “what individuals were doing to protect their children from Islam”.
