Anger is growing over a 'cover-up' after two Afghan asylum seekers were charged with the alleged rape of a 12-year-old girl, but police advised authorities not to reveal their background.
Ahmad Mulakhil, 23, was charged with the rape of the underage girl in Nuneaton, Warwickshire.
While a second man, Mohammad Kabir, also 23, was charged with aiding and abetting rape, as well as strangulation and kidnap of the girl, who is now receiving specialist care.
Despite the huge interest the incident has caused in Nuneaton, sources told the Mail on Sunday that Warwickshire Police advised local councillors and officials not to reveal the asylum seeker background of the two suspects, for fear of 'inflaming community tensions'.
Now Reform MP, Lee Anderson, has taken to social media to express his outrage at the handling of the situation branding it a 'cover-up'.
