Four UK police officers are facing misconduct charges for their inadequate handling of domestic abuse allegations reported by Harshita Brella, a 24-year-old Indian woman who was later found murdered.

Brella's husband, Pankaj Lamba, remains the prime suspect and is believed to have fled to India after allegedly murdering her in November 2024.
