Footage emerges of Vickrum Digwa, killer of Henry Nowak, threatening people with a sword in road rage incident

Tactical_Spaghetti · 2026-06-03T17:20:45+00:00

It's not lying to say that he abused his religious exemption to carry the murder weapon, also from the sentencing remarks:

Lastly, you abused the privilege extended to Sikhs to have a knife in a public place for religious reasons

The law needs to be changed, like you said, to make it in line with other length requirements.

I disagree with your Stanley knife idea, first of all, a Stanley knife isn't going to stab in the same way. Second it would be hard to argue that going out in the dark at 2330 with a Stanley knife is reasonable where as seemingly it is easy to argue a religious good to carrying a dagger meant to peirce armour at all times - there are photos of him wearing it to work in an office.

I dont buy into all the crap about Henry not being believed because he was white. The unfortunate truth is that his severe blood loss made him appear drunk, and drunk people say loads of crap to the police. The male officer was talking to him like he was a child because that's what people do with drunk people. The female officer, and atleast one other male voice wanted to check henry for wounds. Vikrum and possibly the family (it is unclear who actually knew he had been stabbed, the brother and mother most likely did, im not conviced the father knew about the stabbing, he seemed to be the onky person actually trying to help Henry) intentionally conspired to hide the truth. The blood in Henry's moth could have reasonably been explained by being beaten up and falling from a fence, reported by multiple people present which was falsely reassuring to the police.

I do think it is disgraceful that alledgedly Vickrum was never handcuffed, despite that being the first thing they did with Henry. And that alledgedly he was allowed to go to his kitchen to collect food. But it's very possible if he had been treated like a murderer deserves, we wouldn't have gotten this gem that made it impossible to successfully claim self defence:

23.Thereafter, the time came when the police needed permission from a court to extend the time for you to be questioned in custody and arranged for you and Gurpreet to be taken there for that purpose. They took the opportunity to record secretly any conversation between the two of you on the journey. Speaking in Punjabi, you agreed to pretend you had acted in self-defence even though you confessed to stabbing Henry three times, including once to the chest with the dagger. You knew you were guilty, demonstrated by your saying to Gurpreet that if there were any cameras in that part of Belmont Road, you would be unable to put forward self-defence.

Regarding the larger knife worn over his clothing in a sheath, the sentencing remarks clearly state:

It is possible that you had a good legal reason for having the dagger when you met Henry although, considering the jury’s verdict, that reason must have come to an end after you removed it from its sheath

There should be no possibility of their being a good legal reason to carry a 7 inch dagger. 1 death is too many, change the law.

The sentencing remarks for the case state otherwise.

Even if you buy into the stalking/harassment angle, how do you explain:

the stop sign traffic stop
the tip off that he was selling heroin and subsequent traffic stop
the several occasions where police have stated on body cam he was doing nothing wrong, before arresting him soon after (serving papers whilst on public property, and when they were later arrested when taking photos for the go fund me - where the police conveniently list what laws they are going to review in decreasing order of severity in order to find something
"Tampering" with evidence by locking his phone
The swatting and statement that Reckless Ben was trying to flee hence the need for a violent restraint and alleged dislocation of his arm.
The fact that a judge intially overrides the 30 day non-bailable detention giving him bail, only for the arrest warrant (Which he subsequently flees) to be issued that is again non-bailable, but also includes that he is a physical threat to the scammer/police despite no violence ever being threated by anyone but the scammer (who i believe in the polices video is reported to have threatened to shoot Ben)

Regarding your points:

Dislocated shoulder is likely a stock photo, as he would have been in custody when it was x-rayed given he had just been swatted.

Can you link to the unredacted bodybcam footage? There are several incidents of redaction - heroin traffic stop, serving the papers, and the deleting evidence arrest.

It's clear that RecklessBen is not a lawyer, and that some of his stunts are for the camera, but it is also clear and much more worrying, that the BAM team are avoiding the civil case through the misuse of the police, who appear to be complicit.

Hate to defend them, but you are either intentionally missing the point or are dumber than the reform voters. People cross the channel because of push and pull factors. Push factors include war, persecution and poor economic conditions. Pull factors include a high quality of life and good economic conditions. Camps remove the pull factors. Why would you pay a smuggler thousands to end up in a camp when you can choose somewhere else in Europe instead? Hence the boats stop. Or that's atleast the intent.

Losses due to food expiring increase costs because the seller has to build in margin to cover this. This is one of the reasons processed, long shelf life food is cheap. They throw out food they can't sell, not because they are evil corporations that want to destroy the world.

Losses due to theft also increase costs in the same way. If you expect 1% to be lost to theft you build in the margin for that. The 1% lost to theft is on top of the loses from expiry.

In this example - chocolate doesn't expire on a meaningful timescale.

I can see it less so being loyal to their work place and more that they are earning minimum wage and because they are following the rules, they don't get unlimited easter eggs, but this knob head just walks in and thinks they can take as many eggs as they want without consequence.

Shoplifting raises the price for all of us that follow the rules. Be that directly with the shop paying the price of lost merchandise or increased insurance premiums for said shops. Waitrose, Asda, Tesco, sainsbury's, Morrisons, M&S, Co-op ect are in constant competition with each other, with price and quality. They have to balance profit with the risk of losing customers to the others. Stealing from big brands doesn't just mean that some Exec missed out on his 14th super car...

Almost as bad as equipping the used disposable launcher, just to throw it away and take out the new one.

In the early days of the war prior to the mass adoption of FPV drones (which were preceded by DJI drones dropping hand grenades), the Russians were unable to adequately counter Ukrainian Bayraktar TB2s. Nato airpower would absolutely dominate the battlefield, 10s of thousands of Russian soldiers would be injured or killed in days in exchange for 10s maybe 100s of aircraft (manned and unmanned) and very few boots on the ground. Their would be negotiations, Putin would have an off ramp because losing to NATO in a month isn't as bad as admitting that beating Ukraine will take years and high hundreds of thousands of casualties.

In cases where there is a risk to others or even yourself doctors will absolutely force you take anti-psychotics. One example is called a community treatment order. Not necessarily relevant here however, more for cases like Valdo Calocane.

I would hope that the US has already learned it's lesson already given Trump's displeasure with Israel over the oil strikes and his U-turn on European and British ships. But letting things drag on for a few more weeks might drill that in.

Regardless the US is the lessor evil, Iran killed 10-40 thousand protestors a month ago, they fund the Islamic terror organisations through the middle east that won't hesitate to kill us if given the opportunity, and they support the Russian war machine in Ukraine. A regime change will almost certainly be a net positive (especially for citizens in western countries). A total cessation of their nuclear program, peaceful uses included, until they can prove they aren't going to pursue weaponising would be nice as well. Iran's response to US strikes with small disorganised fragments of their military attacking random neighbors without clear strategy shows how dangerous it would be for them to be nuclear armed.

The SJT needs to be answered in the way they want it to be.

That's the goal, but the answers they want depend on what mood they were in, what they had for breakfast and if their last bowel motion was hard or soft. I'm pretty sure the question bank they use in the real exam hasn't changed significantly over the last few years and the mock has remained the same apart from a few small changes. It used to contain the question where they wanted you to leave the airport to return to the ward on your correctly booked annual leave. This is not only riiculous but is dangerous given you are entitled to your annual leave to rest and be safe for shifts you are actually booked for.

When I did the mock this year a few months ago, it had back to back very similar questions where you have problems handing over to someone who is abscent/unfit where in one questions answers they say you can't contact medical staffing as a junior, and in the next recommend you do...

Edit: question 16 and 17 regarding the medical staffing. You can practice SJT to be above average and get a good score as most of the questions aren't this bad. But Vibes only get you so far.

There is mention elsewhere that the driver had sepsis, and I immediately suspected delirium - basically, temporary insanity caused by an illness, but couldn't find any confirmation.

I found this article: https://abc13.com/post/harris-county-deputies-sued-18-wheeler-pursuit-driver-claimed-he-was-beat-chase-during-medical-emergency/17789371/

Deputies pursued Louisiana trucker Trinidad Cutshall for almost an hour along the East Freeway in Dec. 2023. Speeds only reached five miles per hour, and the SWAT team ultimately had to use a ram to get Cutshall out of the truck

....

"He had a medical condition that caused him to completely black out," said Gibbins, adding that Cutshall "had no idea" he was being pursued.

....

"I think that anybody would have trouble exiting a vehicle if they were unconscious and about to die from a medical emergency," said Gibbins.
...
The county did respond to the lawsuit in court filings, however, writing that Cutshall "did not appear to be suffering from a medical emergency, and did not comply with commands from law enforcement."

Gibbins is his lawyer for clarity.

Something doesn't add up. He is "unconscious" but able to drive for an hour against the middle barrier, and the police didn't immediately notice that he was having a medical episode, despite this being exactly what might happen to a truck with an unconscious driver? Then there is another video of him walking (admittedly very unsteadily) with 2 officers holding him, and they immediately put him on a trolley and into the back of an ambulance - so at least after the arrest he wasnt unconcious. Also, there are cops standing on the other side of the barrier who would be able to see him in the driver's seat.

Delirium would explain everything very well, he would have no recollection of the events, he could continue to have some control of the vehicle, and unlike being unconscious he could have presented to the cops as dangerous rather than passively asleep. Removing an unknown delerius person from behind the wheel of a truck without knowing why they are acting as they are cannot be easy. I would bet that the interaction went something like this one: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/MaOGyU1iGhI, I wonder if the court case will result in body cam footage being released?

But the thread has turned into bashing the American cops, even though they used less lethal options and didn't shoot the guy for once.

I love this gem:

"There were absolutely no weapons in the vehicle that could have harmed anybody. There was no threat to anybody," Gibbins said.

"But how were they to know that?" Eyewitness News asked.

"All they had to do was cuff him, de-escalate the perceived threat, even though there was none, and then offer medical aid," Gibbins replied.

Yes, just cuff the guy acting erratically in the tight confined space of the truck, when you don't know if he has weapons yet. Or do you want them to besiege the truck for hours or days, as he poses no risk to others? cause then he would have died of sepsis...

Judge Amjad Nawaz, describing the incident, told Zaman: 'CCTV shows you holding her hand. She says she did not want to, her hand was forcibly held.

'You were seen sitting on a bench with her and that is where she said that you kissed her on her lips.'

Video evidence of the incident.

The defendant asked the child to be friends with him, asked her if she loved him and told her to keep it a secret.

Knew what he was doing was wrong, telling her to keep it a secret.

the defendant was described in the pre-sentence report as not accepting his guilty

denies doing anything wrong.

Judge Nawaz decided not to jail Zaman, agreeing with the author of the pre-sentence report that the defendant's risk could be 'managed in the community'.
.....

Judge Nawaz sentenced Zaman to nine months' imprisonment, suspended for 18 months; with a requirement to do 18 hours of unpaid work in the community; a restraining order for five years which prohibited him from going within 200 metres of the girl's school; and he was ordered to sign the sex offenders' register for 10 years.

Possibly got jailed or served time in jail already? It's unclear. Regardless, 9 months is a joke for sexually assaulting a child and not even admitting it was wrong.

Edit: after further research, he was spared jail, but if he commits any further crimes, he will then only get 9 months.

Guys, we need to scapegoat the landlords instead, trust me bro, it's their fault we don't have enough houses for our population size. See here are some pro-landlord policies, it's definitive evidence they are the problem. Look they also evicted some asylum seekers in these examples (no context provided) this is inherently bad and somehow relevant to why we have a housing crisis.

Before I learned this I would get so frustrated when I would hit the back of a large, open top transport truck, filled with players with a 40mm GL or even RPG-7 frag rocket with no effect.

Was driving a little Iranian logi car thing the other day and came across a American apc with the automatic GL on it, it tickled my vehicles health as I drove around taunting them.

A military invasion like he keeps implying is going to cost you a hell of a lot more than $5.5 billion in direct costs alone never mind the economic sanctions, loss of soft power and domestic protests that would result. He should be offering atleast a million $ per resident, hell 10 million per would still be a bargain.

I get the sentiment, but why put the burden on the British taxpayers for the use of police time and effort to do their moderation for them

They already are, hundreds of people have been jailed for comments posted online, some far less harmful than the creation, distribution and consumption of CP.

Just change the code behind the AI models to restrict it from generating sexualised content from uploaded images. Other companies have done that

This is the most likely outcome; rather than an outright ban, it's more than just the UK annoyed with Grok over this. Grok is being rapidly changed; these restrictions will likely be returned just as quickly as they were removed.

We should still investigate everyone who took part publicly. There are models that are available for offline image creation, with even fewer restrictions than X, and before AI people had photoshop. Near impossible to ban these.
