From Rape Gangs to More Pakistani Predator in the Police

West Yorkshire Policeman Stalked Mother in the Street

If the predator had been White and the victim Asian, Halifax would be in uproar. Instead, it’s another story involving a Pakistani policeman that no one in power wants to talk about.

In a decent town, the news that a police officer stalked a lone mother pushing a pram would trigger outrage and shame. But Halifax isn’t a decent town. Calderdale isn’t a decent borough. And West Yorkshire Police stopped being a decent institution a long time ago.

This isn’t a “one-off” or a “momentary lapse.” It’s the inevitable product of a place where misogyny is normal, predators go unchallenged, and institutions protect their own.

The Case

On 26 March 2024, a mother was walking home in Halifax with her baby in a pram. An off-duty police officer, PC Raza Mahmood, pulled up beside her and shouted: “Oi, come over here.”

When she ignored him, he circled back. Four times.

She later said:

“I honestly thought that the man was going to physically hurt me or kidnap me.”

Mahmood, a married father-of-two, was found guilty of harassment. The judge said he had “undermined public confidence in the police service, particularly among members of society who are vulnerable and look to the police for support.”

A Town That Won’t Look in the Mirror

Halifax has become a place where too many Pakistani men see women as targets and too many women know reporting harassment won’t change a thing. The police have covered for predators before - both in uniform and in “protected” communities whose crimes are politically inconvenient to confront.

The rape gang scandals weren’t just about the horrors inflicted on those girls. They were about the refusal to confront the attitudes towards women embedded in parts of the Pakistani community. A misogyny and cultural contempt towards White girls that too many leaders, to this day, still find too politically dangerous to challenge.

Police officers looked the other way. Councillors buried reports. Politicians decided it was easier to label whistleblowers as racists than to admit there was a problem.

That same culture of silence, denial, and selective outrage still hangs over Halifax. And it’s why a police officer from that same community is able to stalk a mother pushing a pram, confident he could get away with it.

No Remorse

Mahmood still denies the offence. No explanation, no apology. Definitely no remorse. His barrister talks about how hard he worked to join the police, as though effort cancels out abuse.

We’re told his conviction will have “profound consequences” for him and his family. As if he is the victim. But where is the concern for the woman he hunted through the streets? For her fear? For her baby in that pram?

The Double Standard

If Mahmood had been a White officer targeting an Asian mother, do you think this would have been buried midweek with no political outcry?

We live in a system where race and identity politics often dictate which victims get justice and which perpetrators are shielded.

Halifax’s Women Deserve Better

Unfortunately, the harassment of women in Halifax is not rare. The reluctance of West Yorkshire Police to act decisively is not rare. The silence from councillors is not rare. Nor is the complicity of the wider Pakistani community.

Women in Halifax, whatever their background, deserve a police force that will not protect predators in uniform. A community that will not excuse harassment as “banter.” Leaders who will stop protecting reputations and start protecting women walking home at night, pushing their children in prams.

The real shock would be if someone in authority finally said: enough. If they sacked predators without delay. If they confronted misogyny in all its forms.

Until then, Halifax will remain a place where a police officer can stalk a mother and still keep his job. A place where women’s fear is justified, and where the rot runs so deep most people have stopped smelling it.

I am Raja Miah. For six years, I led a small team that exposed how politicians protected the rape gangs.

During this time, Labour Party politicians tried everything possible to stop me. I spent 3 years on bail as case after case they fabricated against me collapsed in court. My mother died before I was able to clear my name.

Now the truth is out. In detail. The Pakistani Rape Gangs are real. And their victims, little White girls, number in the hundreds of thousands.

So now the question is: will you stand with me and help make sure the National Inquiry is prevented from being a whitewash and the gang rape of our nation's children ends?

This is the fight.
This is the moment.
There will not be another.

This is how we end this. When good people refuse to surrender to evil and decide no more will we be silent whilst our children are gang raped.
