A Sri Lankan immigrant who sued the Home Office for long-term injuries sustained in immigration detention was caught working out and go-karting

A Sri Lankan immigrant who launched a multi-million-pound lawsuit against the Home Office for injuries allegedly sustained while in immigration detention has been caught working out at a gym and go-karting.

Vengadeswara Raw Gopalakrishnan claimed he had been left entirely incapable of working, studying, or even leaving his house unaccompanied due to "serious and long-term psychiatric injury".

However, following a High Court hearing, a judge has ruled the claim fundamentally dishonest and branded the deliberate exaggeration as a “scandalous" waste of court time and public resources.

The fraudulent £7 million claim was exposed after agents hired by the Home Office filmed the claimant leading a highly active lifestyle, The Independent reports.
