after he saw two white boys aged 12 and 13 racially abuse a man and throw a large rock at him near the same park where he encountered his own attackers.A witness to the August attack, Linda Haigh, said she warned police about racially motivated problems in the area before Mr Kohli died, and believes he would still be alive had they taken her more seriously.An investigation conducted by Leicestershire Police, reviewed by the Independent Office for Police Conduct, did not identify any "misconduct or missed opportunities which could have prevented Mr Kohli's death".
Ch Supt Jonathan Starbuck said: "Prior to Mr Kohli's death, police were aware of two reports of anti-social behaviour involving youths in the Franklin Park area which were being investigated."Partnership work in the area following Mr Kohli's death did identify further incidents which had not been reported."
He added that "organisational learning" to improve logging anti-social behaviour had been identified.
