Taxi driver found hanged in Coventry park was suspected sex offender

A taxi driver who hanged himself in a Coventry park was on police bail for a suspected sexual offence, the Telegraph has learned.

Tarsem Lal, 34, killed himself in Longford Park on July 3, 2017 at about 7.15am.

An inquest at Coventry Council House, on Tuesday, heard that Mr Lal was found with a suicide note and was on police bail at the time of his arrest.

The Telegraph contacted West Midlands Police to find out why Mr Lal was on bail immediately after the inquest but were initially told the force would not reveal that information.

We subsequently asked the office of the West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner for an explanation about why the information could not be revealed.

Today, West Midlands Police agreed to hand over the information and released a one line statement which read: “He was on bail following an allegation of sexual assault.”

No explanation for the change of heart, or the initial refusal to provide the information, was given.
