Harshita Brella, 24, was found dead in November, with her husband, Pankaj Lamba, charged with her murder and sexual offenses. Following an earlier domestic abuse report by Brella, police actions are now under scrutiny. The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) is investigating the police's handling of her abuse complaint, leading to disciplinary notices for four officers due to alleged failings including communication and risk assessment. The case highlights serious concerns about the protection offered to domestic abuse victims.
The investigation into Northamptonshire Police's prior contact with Harshita Brella and her husband is ongoing, with disciplinary notices served on four officers for alleged failings.
Derrick Campbell from the IOPC stated, 'Our investigation into Northamptonshire Police contact with Harshita Brella... is progressing. We are continuing to gather and review evidence.'
