The leader of the council, who has been suspended by his own party, is being investigated for sending a pornographic video to members of staff.
Cllr Sohail Munawar has been removed as leader of the Labour Group pending the outcome of an investigation by the Labour Party.
A letter to Cllr Munawar from the Labour Party head office, seen by the Slough Observer, said: “These allegations include conduct which is in breach of the Party’s bullying and harassment procedure towards other Party members.
“There is also an allegation of sexual harassment in the form of an explicit video sent over Whatsapp to a number of other Party members.
“It is important that these allegations are investigated and the NEC (National Executive Committee) will be asked to authorise a full report to be drawn up with recommendations for disciplinary action if appropriate.”
The Observer understands that Cllr Munawar accidentally forwarded a pornographic video, which featured a cucumber, to contacts on his phone.
In an interview on Asian Star radio, Cllr Munawar said the situation had “torn my family apart,” and they were “in pieces” and also said that his daughter, mother and sister were among the recipients of the video.
