Indian worker wins accent claim

A Northampton man of Indian origin sent home early from a work trip to India because he was not "English enough" has won a racial discrimination claim.

Chetankumar Meshram worked for telecoms firm Talk Talk in the town and was selected to an eight-week secondment to New Delhi to train staff in India.



Bedford Employment Tribunal heard he was sent home after three weeks because his accent was not "English enough".

Talk Talk Direct was found guilty of racial discrimination.
