"He was also arrested by the same force for "driving a motor vehicle with excess alcohol" after a car crash in 2008, the Met Police said. However, when filling out police vetting forms in 2020, Bhatti said he had not been arrested or investigated. He claimed at a subsequent misconduct hearing he had "misunderstood the wording" of the form. The hearing, which took place in December, ruled his actions amounted to gross misconduct and he was dismissed without notice."
"Between October 2011 and August 2012, he was investigated by the Sussex and Greater Manchester forces on suspicion of firearms offences. His ex-partner accused him of threatening her with pistols, and his home was searched by Sussex Police. Bhatti later voluntarily attended a police interview after a BB gun and a gas-powered gun were seized from his bedroom, which were found to be "legal weapons"."
PC Mohammed Bhatti was dismissed without notice after a misconduct hearing found that he failed to disclose a 2008 arrest for suspected drink-driving and an earlier firearms investigation on police vetting forms. Sussex Police arrested him after a 2008 crash but found his alcohol level below the legal limit and took no further action. Between 2011 and 2012 he was investigated after an ex-partner accused him of threatening her with pistols; officers seized a BB gun and a gas-powered gun that were later deemed legal. Bhatti said he misunderstood the vetting question and described the allegations as malicious and untrue.
