An Asian Muslim detective, who was awarded an honour by the British Queen Elizabeth II, is suing the Metropolitan Police over claims of racism. Detective Constable Nighat Hubbard is also claiming she was a victim of sexism while serving in the force.
\nShe alleges that she was held back while white colleagues were allowed to work more complex investigations, according to The Sunday Times.
\nThe serving officer also says in her claims, which date between 2013 and 2014, that male colleague made discriminatory comments to her and other women officers, the paper reported.
\nHubbard was presented with an award in 2014 for her charity work, making her the first Muslim policewoman to be honoured by the Queen.
\nScotland Yard said: \u201cWe are aware of an employment tribunal claim brought by Hubbard against the Metropolitan Police Service alleging race and sex discrimination.We are unable to discuss further while proceedings are ongoing.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
