Around 200 Sikh men and women gathered outside a council flat in Hounslow on Sunday night following allegations that a 34-year-old Afghan man had been grooming a 16-year-old Sikh girl. Protesters said the girl’s parents, concerned after she left home to live with the man, had sought help from a gurdwara in Slough. They claimed the girl had been meeting him since the age of 14 or 15. Videos on social media show demonstrators confronting the man and accusing him of paedophilia. Neighbours alleged repeated reports to police about underage girls visiting the flat. Police attended, detained the man, and returned the girl to her family. Sikh groups criticised police inaction and announced a national inquiry into grooming allegations.
