Overview

  • More than 200 people from the Sikh community gathered outside a Hounslow flat on Jan. 13–14 after videos circulated online about an alleged abduction and assault.
  • Footage shows an accused being led into a police van after hours of confrontation, while authorities have not released details and reports differ on whether the suspect is Pakistani or Afghan.
  • Coverage says the teenager was held in a flat linked to a 34-year-old man and was assaulted by multiple perpetrators, with some reports citing up to six men.
  • Community sources allege the contact began when the girl was around 13, describing grooming tactics that persuaded her to leave home once she turned 16.
  • The incident features in wider calls for stronger action on group-based child sexual exploitation, frequently referenced alongside the Alexis Jay findings and plans for a national inquiry.
