MPs are demanding an investigation into police handling after a teenager and a second man were involved in an incident described by multiple reports. The accounts say Vikrum Digwa, 23, attacked 18-year-old Henry Nowak with an eight-inch ceremonial blade and then told the first officers who arrived that he had been the victim of racist abuse. The reports state that Digwa was arrested while Nowak was dying. MPs have asked for scrutiny of whether police treated Digwa’s account as racist abuse and whether the response and subsequent actions were appropriate. The allegations also include claims that Digwa’s statement was false, and that police acted on it. One report further says Elon Musk has offered to fund a private prosecution. The available information centers on the sequence of events at the scene—attack, Digwa’s claim of racist abuse, and his arrest—along with calls for an independent review of police decision-making. Authorities have not been described in the provided material as having reached findings, and the issues are presented as subject to investigation.
