Mumbai, July 28: The Greater Manchester Police (GMP), according to 38-year-old Zayna Iman, are being accused of a series of separate assualts that she claims were captured on CCTV. Officers strip her down, sever her panties, remove her top and bra, and throw her face down into a mattress, as seen on videotape captured inside her cell.
Zayna told Sky News that instead of giving a woman who was unconscious medical assistance, they reasoned, "I know, let's take her clothes off instead and leave her there." Assam: Cop Rapes Woman Inside Police Station.
Early on February 5, 2021, police stormed into her house and detained her after she smashed a female officer's spectacles off her face. Officers explained that they were responding to a welfare report regarding a lady who was cocaine-high.
Zayna, who has waived her right to remain anonymous, was imprisoned at a police station for the next 40 or so hours. Three hours of missing video from her arrest, according to Sky News, have not yet been provided by the police. It is stated that Zayna's medical records, which contain proof of sexual injuries, confirm her claims.
Martin Harding, a former chief superintendent of the GMP, has watched the video and seen the discrepancies with the custody log, and he agrees that she has legitimate concerns.She was raped, I think, and the organisation is probably covering the fact that she was sexually assaulted by an officer, Harding stated.

Although GMP has not said why the tape is missing, it claims that there is presently no proof that any staff have engaged in wrongdoing or broken the law.
