West Yorkshire Police have confirmed there will be “no further investigation” over allegations made against an imam based in Bradford, which resulted in him leaving his position over claims of gross misconduct.

Asim Hussain had been an Imam at the Al-Hikam Institute, in Fairweather Green, Bradford. At an emergency meeting of the Kanz ul Huda organisation in Birmingham, Islamic scholars relinquished his role because of alleged “serious violations of morality” and “abuses of authority”.

A police spokesperson said the force has previously made enquiries into the matters raised and that now it has been established “there were no incidents which required further investigation by this force.”
