Kohli – who appeared on celebrity versions of Big Brother and Masterchef – denied a total of 20 charges via his legal team during a hearing at the High Court in Glasgow.
Of Punjabi Sikh descent, Hardeep Singh Kohli’s parents came to the UK from India in the 1960s. While still a law student at the University of Glasgow, Kohli worked as an Usher at the Citizens Theatre – where he developed a love of playwright Arthur Miller. After graduating, he joined the BBC Scotland graduate production trainee scheme, which involved two years of training before moving to BBC in London to direct television series. In the years since, he has produced, directed and presented many award-winning shows for the BBC and Channel 4. Kohli writes a column, Hardeep Is Your Love, for Scotland on Sunday and also occasionally writes for The Guardian and The Independent.
Kohli wrote a book about food and travel in India called Indian Takeaway: One Man’s Attempt to Cook His Way Home, published in 2009.

One of the BBC’s tricks when they – reluctantly – are forced to report on one of their favourite ethnics, and in this case one of their own, is to avoid posting a photo.
So what image do they use in the above article on Hardeep Singh Kohli? Why, a COURTROOM, of course: one of the least interesting aspects of the story.
But it’s even more risible than that: it’s the courtroom where he DIDN’T APPEAR, as he was excused from attending the hearing for some reason.
And of course the whole story is safely tucked away where no-one will see it. I literally could not have found it without the link provided above.
HA HA HA HA! Soviet Union Gulags are real comrades – be careful to sing a song in all its glory!

“Parliament revamp could cost £40bn and take 61 years https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvgp2pzqr84o
5 February 2026
The refurbishment of the Houses of Parliament could cost almost £40bn and take 61 years, under proposals presented to MPs and peers.
It’s one option presented by the team working on the long-delayed restoration of the historic building, which is falling apart and costs £1.5m a week to maintain.
The team has also suggested moving MPs and peers out of the Palace of Westminster for up to 24 years from 2032, under a refurbishment plan that could cost as much as £15.6bn.
MPs and peers will debate and vote on the plan to develop these two options and the completion of initial works.
Either way, taxpayers will have to pay for the works and pick up a bill that is expected to run into many billions.

Comedian Hardeep Singh Kohli to stand trial for rape and sex offences
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvgm7mdnme1o
From AI:
‘Hardeep Singh Kohli is widely identified as a left-wing political figure’
‘Kohli, 57, from Kelvinside in Glasgow, is a former reporter on BBC’s The One Show and panellist on The Wright Stuff on Channel 5.’
So no surprises there at all. 100% normal for the BBC and a Lefty. All dirty hypocrites.
