Sikh Group Demands Inquiry Into Henry Nowak Death Case

A prominent Sikh organisation has formally requested a government inquiry into the death of Henry Nowak, raising concerns about the circumstances surrounding the 45-year-old’s passing last month. Dabinderjit Singh, representing the Sikh Federation, submitted the official letter on Tuesday calling for a comprehensive investigation.

The request comes three weeks after Nowak died in what local authorities initially described as an isolated incident. But Singh’s letter challenges that characterisation, pointing to what he calls „significant inconsistencies” in the official account.

Federation Raises Questions

In his correspondence to the Home Office, Singh outlined several areas requiring scrutiny. The letter, running to 12 pages, details witness accounts that reportedly contradict the initial police report. It’s understood that at least seven individuals have come forward with information not previously considered in the case.

„We’re not satisfied with the explanations provided so far,” Singh wrote in the letter obtained by this publication. „The family deserves answers, and the community deserves transparency.”

The Sikh Federation has been active in civil rights cases for over two decades.

Timeline of Events

Nowak was found unresponsive at a property in West London on March 8th. Emergency services attended the scene at approximately 2:30 PM, but he was pronounced dead within the hour. The Metropolitan Police issued a brief statement the following day, saying they weren’t treating the death as suspicious.

Yet questions began emerging almost immediately. Neighbours reported seeing unusual activity at the address in the days leading up to Nowak’s death. And family members told local media they’d been unable to reach him for 72 hours before his body was discovered.

Government Response Awaited

The Home Office confirmed receipt of Singh’s letter but wouldn’t comment on whether an inquiry would be launched. A spokesperson said only that „all correspondence is being carefully reviewed through appropriate channels.”

Singh’s request specifically calls for an independent panel to examine the case, similar to inquiries conducted in previous high-profile deaths. The Federation has offered to provide witness statements and additional documentation to support their concerns.

So far, neither the coroner’s office nor the police have released a full report on Nowak’s death. An inquest is scheduled to open on April 15th, though it’s expected to be adjourned pending further investigation. The delay hasn’t satisfied those demanding answers.

The Sikh Federation says it won’t back down until proper scrutiny is applied to the case. With public pressure mounting and more witnesses potentially coming forward, the government may soon have little choice but to respond substantively to the group’s demands.
