Misconduct Hearing Outcome - SPC Muhammad Farooq
NOTICE OF HEARING OUTCOME
Case Reference: CM/77/25
ALLEGATIONS:
Special Police Constable Muhammad Farooq, based in London, attended a gross misconduct hearing between 3rd to 5th August 2026 to answer allegations that his conduct amounted to breaches of the Standards of Professional Behaviour, in respect of:
- Honesty and Integrity
- Discreditable Conduct
It was alleged that SPC Farooq:
- On 30th May 2025, deliberately took possession of items belonging to his wife and refused to return them until she “behaved positively”.
- On a number of occasions before 30th May 2025, prevented his wife from leaving her home address by withholding her keys, becoming confrontational when she wishes to spend time with friends and family, and threatened to “make her life hell” (or words to that effect).
It was alleged that these matters individually and/or cumulatively amounted to gross misconduct, namely a breach of the Standards of Professional Behaviour that, if proved, are so serious as to justify dismissal.
OUTCOME
The Panel found the allegations proved, and that the breaches amounted to gross misconduct. SPC Farooq was dismissed without notice.
