The High Court has overruled a decision made by the Civil Court regarding a suit filed against Police Chief Inspector Risheef Thoha, after he was dismissed by the Police Disciplinary Board over allegations that he raped a woman in a police car.
The court ordered that Chief Inspector Thoha be reinstated.
In August last year, a woman filed a case at police headquarters alleging she was sexually abused by a group of police officers, including the chief inspector.
In December 2010 Thoha appealed the decision of the Disciplinary Board at the Civil Court, which ruled that the Board’s decision was lawful and that there was enough evidence to dismiss Thoha from police duty.
