Call the Cops?

BBC Asian Network - Nihal, Call the Cops?

Would you report those involved in the Dudley Sikh protests to the police?

Would you report those involved in the Dudley Sikh protests to the police? Plus property guru Michael Holmes is in the studio to answer your questions.

At 1, Nihal asks 'Would you report those involved in the Dudley Sikh protests to the Police?'

Do you remember the story we had back in May about a Sikh protest in Dudley?
Violence broke out after a demonstration against the centre serving meat and alcohol at a private party. The protesters claimed the centre had gone against the the Sikh faith because the premises were owned by a Gurduwara.

Yesterday West Midlands Police issued CCTV footage of the rioters who caused damage to the centre and injuries to police officers and members of the public. 

Despite what you think about the validity of the cause, the protests turned violent and crimes were committed. If you knew people involved would you tell the Police? Were these rioters extreme in their actions? How far would you go to defend your religion? 


After 2, Property Guru Michael Holmes is here to answer your questions.
