A Conservative councillor is being investigated by the party over an allegation of Islamophobia.
Mary Sherwin has been suspended from the Bosworth Conservative Association after a complaint was made against her.
The former Leicestershire county councillor said she had been unaware of the specifics of the complaint against her until she was contacted by LeicestershireLive.
She said the letter she had received said only that it was alleged she had discriminated against someone.
However, it is understood the allegation relates to an encounter with a Muslim party member outside an internal meeting in the summer.
The Burbage parish councillor and former police authority member denied the allegation, saying she was upset that it had been made against her. [LeicestershireLive] Read more
