US court rules in favour of elderly Sikh targetted in hate crime

New York, February 2

A US court has ruled in favour of an elderly Sikh who had accused a Northern California sheriff’s office of inadequately investigating racist threats against him in 2021.

Rouble Claire, 66, had sued the Sutter County Sheriff’s Office as well as the Sutter County for inadequately probing hate-based threats against him, US-based advocacy group Sikh Coalition said.
