"The tribunal concluded that despite Mr Bassi not following Islam, the actions constituted clear sleights against his race. It also found that Network Rail managers displayed a laissez-faire attitude towards the incidents."
"Mr Bassi is now set to receive compensation after the employment tribunal ruled in his favour against Network Rail. The railway worker also faced further harassment when colleagues put a newspaper page detailing a knife attack in his boot."
Parmjit Bassi, a British Indian Network Rail employee, successfully won a race harassment case after an anti-Islam leaflet was placed in his locker. Despite not being Muslim, he faced racial attacks, including colleagues placing a newspaper page about a knife attack in his boot. The employment tribunal ruled in his favor, stating the actions were clear racial slights. Network Rail's management was criticized for their lax response to the harassment. Bassi, who has worked for Network Rail since 1999, had a difficult relationship with his colleagues.
