A video which used subtitles to suggest the woman had used a racial slur while canvassing for Labour was shared by independent candidate Akhmed Yakoob, pictured.
A Lamborghini-driving lawyer who ran for the West Midlands mayoralty is at the centre of a row over a 'deep-fake' video which led to a viral hate campaign against an innocent teacher.
West Midlands Police yesterday said officers had examined the original footage and concluded no offensive words were uttered.The video shows the woman asking the person who lived at this house whether they voted for Labour 'All my life, I have been known as a polite, well-mannered, helpful good person and always had a very good reputation and that was blown up by one false allegation.'
Mr Yakoob, said he has 'deleted the post from all my social media', but denied being culpable for the teacher being 'outed' as a racist.
