The Independent Office for Police Conduct has asked for a public apology from the BBC.

A police watchdog has complained to Ofcom over an episode of Panorama about the shooting of Chris Kaba.

The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) said it had gone to the broadcast regulator after demands for a public apology from the BBC were not met.

Gang member Mr Kaba was shot by police officer Martyn Blake after trying to ram his way past police cars in Streatham, south-east London, in September 2022.
