Soldier in racial attack on Sikh
A SOLDIER pulled a turban from a man's head – and told police he did it because he did not like people who wore them. Raty Yavala, 29, called the Sikh a "Paki b******" during a night out while on leave.
Yesterday at Edinburgh Sheriff Court, Yavala was fined 200 after admitted causing the man alarm and distress and acting in a racially aggravated manner.
