Hardeep Singh Kohli charged in connection with 'non-recent' sex offence allegations

Broadcaster and comedian Hardeep Singh Kohli has been arrested and charged in connection with allegations of sexual offences.

Police Scotland confirmed the alleged offences are “non-recent” but gave no further details.

The 54-year-old was released and is expected to appear in court at a later date.

A report has been submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.

The development comes after the force confirmed last month it was investigating allegations published by The Times newspaper.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “A 54-year-old man has been arrested and charged in connection with allegations of non-recent sexual offences.

“He has been released on an undertaking to appear in court at a later date.

“A report of the circumstances has been submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.”
