Nusrit Mehtab

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nusrit Mehtab is an English former police officer, at one point the most senior Asian woman officer in the Metropolitan Police.[1]

Nusrit Mehtab joined the Metropolitan Police in the late 1980s. Her work in trying to improve community relations in East London was the subject of a 1990s ITV documentary, Mehtab of the Met. She worked in undercover operations and counter-terrorism, rising through the ranks to become Superintendent.[2] She is of Pakistani descent.[3]

In January 2020, after 32 years, Mehtab left the police force. She complained of a "toxic workplace", and has subsequently brought a claim for constructive dismissal against the Met. She claims to have faced race, sex and religious discrimination, harassment and victimization there.[2]
