‘Abused, felt suicidal’: Indian student’s ordeal exposes UK politician who kept her as nanny ‘illegally’

Himanshi Gongley told authorities she had been “physically abused” and felt “suicidal” under the conditions she faced in Mir’s home.
The 45-year-old politician, Hina Mir, a qualified solicitor and former deputy mayor of Hounslow, was found to have hired Himanshi Gongley for £1,200 a month in cash, despite the student having no legal right to work in the UK, as reported by UK-based newspaper The Telegraph.
Student alleges abuse
The case escalated after Gongley reportedly flagged down a police car for help in August last year. UK home office officials told the court the 22-year-old appeared distressed and was later found to be in the UK illegally, her visa having expired in March 2023.
She told authorities she had been “physically abused” and felt “suicidal” under the conditions she faced in Mir’s home.
According to the newspaper, Adam Goodchild, an immigration officer, told the court that the student fully understood her visa situation. “She was aware her leave had expired and that is why she was not attending university,” he said, adding that “she told me immediately that she was in the country illegally and that her leave status had been curtailed and expired.
Absolutely disgusting..... UK politicans have a record for dooing this, can remember few yrs ago - around covid time - that reece mogg guy was mistreating his nanny - like a slave

This week the government disclosed that in 2023 Indians have been the second largest group of people illegally crossing the English Channel in small boats, making up 18 per cent of all crossings. Although the increase in Indians making the crossings had been reported earlier this year, that this remains the case several months into Spring suggests this May well be part of a wider trend.
This is in contrast with the number of Albanians making the crossings, which has nosedived since the government agreed a returns agreement with Albania in December (which has so far resulted in over 1,000 Albanians being returned).
Indians have now replaced Albanians as the most egregious example of the blatant abuse of the UK asylum system. Why?
Well, unlike other nationalities prominent among those making the crossings, Indians not only have negligible grounds for claiming asylum, it is also perfectly possible for them to make their way to the UK by legitimate means for visits, business, study or to join family members if they qualify for a visa.
While those making the crossings are, as often as not, asylum-shoppers, having to pass through a number of safe and developed countries to make the trip, they at least may have reason to leave their countries of origin, Indians, manifestly do not, beyond seeking a better life. This does not constitute grounds for claiming asylum. While like all developing countries – even one with a rapidly growing economy, democratic governance and a functioning judiciary and no systemic persecution of its citizens – there is still poverty and deprivation, but poverty does not qualify as grounds for granting asylum.
It is also not a country from which an individual can reach Europe without significant air or maritime travel. Unlike Middle Eastern and North African states, it is very difficult to reach Europe over land (or with short sea journeys) from India without encountering a level of risk multitudes greater than anything one might encounter within most of India itself.
To reach the shores of Calais, Indian migrants usually fly to Serbia from Delhi (where Indians don’t need a visa for short visits) before entering the European Union illegally and travelling through Central Europe.
Some have claimed Indians may be making the journey illegally across the Channel because asylum seekers get access to student finance upon the same terms as British students. This is not entirely true. While asylum seekers can study while their claim is assessed, they would normally have to pay the full fees for international students (although accepted refugees would pay ‘Home’ fees). What is also true is that those claiming to be minors on arrival and placed in the care of local authorities can remain the responsibility of the local authority should they go on to university with the LA ultimately footing the bill. We do not know what proportion of those coming illegally are treated as unaccompanied minors.
It is also possible that these individuals may have ties to Indian communities within the UK making it easier for them to disappear into the Indian diaspora and black economy. Apart from the proportion claiming to be minors. It would also be useful to know how many of those admitted temporarily pending a decision on their application later abscond.
Coming from India, these individuals will also know that their asylum claims are unlikely to be approved. In fact, from 2008 to 2021, of nearly 14,000 Indian asylum applications just 458 (or 3 per cent) were granted asylum or another form of protection. This makes it much more likely that they will disappear.
Besides those now crossing the Channel illegally, Indians are the nationality most likely to overstay when their visa expires. In 2018 the government said there were 75,000-100,000 Indian citizens living without authority living illegally in Britain.
It is important that the government acts quickly and decisively to nip this developing trend in the bud before the current flow of Indians across the Channel grows out of control (as was the case with Albanians in 2022). This means expanding the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) agreed with India on illegal immigration in 2021 and press Delhi to act quickly to document and accept back its citizens. The 2021 MOU clearly failed to take account of actions like the intentional destruction of documents which greatly inhibits returns. The MOU was part of a wider package that granted access to the UK for 3,000 young Indians a year. We felt at the time that this would not be enough for the Indian government and so it has proved.
No doubt, India will be as slow and obstructive as it has in the past over documenting and accepting back its citizens. Its frequent ploy has been to link immigration with trade and even, on occasion, make trade agreements dependent on greater immigration access for its citizens. It is of paramount importance that the commendable Kemi Badenoch continues to resist such pressure. The UK has been negotiating a trade deal with India for the past couple of years and Delhi will insist upon greater legal immigration access to the UK in return for meeting their own responsibilities. The Rwanda plan could help solve the new Indian Channel problem. Add to this detention and speedy returns and we could see a decline in illegal Indian crossings similar to the one experienced with Albanians.

Hindutva threat to the UK from a Hindu’s mouth

Hindu nationalism, misogyny and the “manosphere” have been identified as breeding grounds for extremism in a leaked report commissioned by Yvette Cooper after last summer’s riots.
The home secretary’s “rapid analytical sprint” also dismissed claims of “two-tier policing” as a “rightwing extremist narrative”. It argued that the authorities should adopt a “behaviour-based and ideologically agnostic approach” to clamping down on extremism rather than focus resources primarily on “ideologies of concern”.
The report, which was leaked to the right-leaning thinktank Policy Exchange, comes amid deepening scrutiny of the government’s approach to extremism. On Sunday, it emerged that counter-terrorism officers did not believe the Southport killer Axel Rudakubana was “in danger of being radicalised”.

Cooper commissioned the rapid review in August. For the first time, it identifies Hindu nationalist extremism, and Hindutva, as ideologies of concern after unrest in Leicester in 2022.
“Hindu nationalist extremism is an extremist ideology that advocates for Hindu supremacy and seeks to transform India into an ethno-religious Hindu state.
“Hindutva is a political movement distinct from Hinduism which advocates for the hegemony of Indian Hindus and the establishment of a monolithic Hindu Rastra or state in India,” the report said.
“Tensions between Hindu and Muslim communities in the UK are still evident and the events in Leicester show how disinformation can play a role in offline action,” it said.
Under the heading “extreme misogyny”, the report said “an online subculture called the ‘manosphere’ contains a significant amount of content directly focused on misogyny, and sometimes absorbs extremist rightwing tropes.
“The ‘manosphere’ encompasses a wide array of communities that include men’s rights activists; pickup artists; men going their own way; and involuntary celibates or ‘incels’.
“There is an overlap between some manosphere narratives, in particular incel beliefs, and extreme rightwing [ERW] ideology including racist narratives. Globalisation and multiculturalism, which are at the centre of many ERW narratives, are often blamed as factors in incels’ celibacy.”
The report also says that the activity of grooming gangs is frequently exploited by the far right, and that rightwing extremist ideologies and beliefs are “leaking” into the mainstream.
“Rightwing extremist narratives (particularly around immigration and policing) are in some cases ‘leaking’ into mainstream debates. Claims of ‘two-tier’ policing – where two groups are allegedly treated differently after similar behaviour – is a recent example,” the report said.
The government’s approach to extremism should no longer be based on “specific ideologies of concern, but on behaviours and activity”, the report said.
“Not basing his majesty’s government’s approach on a definition or specific ideologies of concern but on behaviours and activity of concern helps to future-proof the approach. It will also reduce both the training burden for practitioners and continual identification burden on government,” it said.

In a recommendation that will concern activists, the report calls for the creation of a “dedicated national investigations capability” to “coordinate and take on protest and low-level extremism operations and investigations” and a digital “national centre of excellence for the monitoring and disruption of protest”.
It recommends “reversing” a code of practice, brought in by the previous government, to limit the recording of “non-crime hate incidents” against individuals. Non-crime hate incidents have been criticised as a waste of police time and a threat to free speech.
The report follows claims made last week by the prime minister, Keir Starmer, in the wake of the Southport killings, where he equated extreme violence with extremism and likened terrorism to any act that terrorises.
Starmer’s comments were criticised by the former police counter-terror commander Neil Basu and by the independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, Jonathan Hall KC, for bringing too much into scope.
Paul Stott and Andrew Gilligan, the authors of the report, said: “Many of these supposed other extremisms simply do not meet the test of harming national security or safety. Government should certainly be alarmed by, and should tackle, violence against women and other social harms – but they do not constitute extremism as defined up till now.
“This new approach risks swamping already-stretched counter-extremism interveners and counter-terror police with tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of new cases, making it more likely that dangerous people will be missed.”
