bbc.com

Metropolitan Police officer Mohammed Bhatti has been dismissed for failing to disclose his arrest for drink-driving and a firearms investigation on vetting forms. Bhatti was accused by an ex-partner of threatening her with pistols, leading to a search of his home and an arrest for excess alcohol after a car crash. He later claimed he misunderstood the vetting form's wording. The misconduct hearing found Bhatti lacked honesty and deliberately concealed information, ruling his actions amounted to gross misconduct. He had served as an officer since 2009 and appeared in a BBC documentary.
