No action is to be taken against high-ranking Police officers involved in an alleged racial incident against a British officer now seconded to Bermuda.

Pc Nadeem Ramzan, who arrived on the Island a few weeks ago on a three-year contract, made accusations of racism while serving as the first Asian officer in the Highlands of Scotland.

It is believed he accused Chief Inspector Andy Walker of pushing him into a chair during an argument.

According to the Daily Record newspaper in Scotland, Pc Ramzan also alleged racism against Chf Insp Walker, Insp Malcolm Bell and Sergeant Robert Pollock.

And another officer in the Northern Constabulary also made complaints that he and his wife, who worked for the force as a cleaner, were bullied by the high-ranking officers.

The newspaper claimed that Pc Gary Taylor, the lone officer at Scalloway police station, is now off sick, and his wife Jane had tried to kill herself over the alleged bullying and intimidation by the three senior officers.

But Northern Constabulary's deputy Chief Constable Keith Cullen has rejected both sets of complaints, The Daily Record said.

It's report stated that the force, in Inverness, said no action would be taken against the area command in Shetland.

However, the force may now face an independent investigation by Scotland's HM Inspectorate of Police.

Bermuda Police said it had nothing to say on the issue, and said PC Ramzan would not be commenting.
