The police watchdog has launched an investigation into a woman's claim she was drugged and sexually assaulted while in police custody.from Greater Manchester Police.

CCTV footage shows the 38-year-old being carried into a police cell unconscious and with her hands cuffed behind her back. It appears to show her being forced face-down on to a thin mattress before police officers take off her jeans, cut off her knickers, pull a pair of oversized custody shorts over her legs and then remove her top and bra before leaving her alone and topless.

"Instead of providing an unconscious female with medical attention they thought: 'I know let's take her clothes off instead and leave her there'," Ms Iman said."It's just something that the police do for their own perverse kicks."Police arrested Ms Iman in the early hours of 5 February 2021 at her home after she knocked the glasses off a female officer's face. They were following up on a welfare callout over a woman high on cocaine.

Over the next 40 hours or so, Ms Iman - who has waived her right to anonymity - would be taken to and held at a police station. From that period, there are three hours of missing footage which GMP have so far failed to supply.
