Queensland police investigated a Punjabi man for a year - over charges that were eventually withdrawn - despite knowing one of the arresting officers had been caught on camera describing Indians as a bunch of fucking perverts".

The rideshare driver named Singh, who asked that his first name not be used because of the distress caused by the case, has now launched legal action against the force due to the alleged racial discrimination he suffered during the investigation that led to him being charged with committing an indecent act, according to his statement of claim.
