Our stance on your membership has not changed. We are not approving your joining of our local party and will be in touch with our Membership Office to explain why. You should not have been given a temporary or permanent membership number. I cannot put any faith in your suggestion that MI5 / MI6 wrote those disgusting emails.
We do aim to answer emails quickly but that might take a day or so. You cannot take silence as assent. I will not be forwarding you Nick Clegg's email.

Dear Ms Lynn Ibeji
I totally and utterly deny sending you any communication by email that was racist and or misogynistic. If you received these, these were criminal anonymous emails engineered by M15/M16 who hacked my email account to make it look that I was the sender of around 500 such emails which constituted malicious communications and stalking that Kent Police investigated by arresting me no fewer than 7 times from September 2021 onwards and finally I was exonerated of all these scurrilous defamatory accusations as linked here: https://www.knowledgeassessmentanddissemination.com/post/charge-refused-certificate-from-kent-police-and-the-restoration-of-seized-property
This matter is therefore subject of a complaint that I have lodged with Professional Standards Department of Kent Police (Case Reference No CO/999/23) and the report is awaited.
As to why Mr Nick Clegg wrote the things that he did about me, I would like to speak to him directly face-to-face to put the record straight - please send me Mr Nick Clegg's email address immediately.
I have already joined Liberal Democrats this morning as follows:

Dear Dr Panigrahi
The Medway Liberal Democrats party does not accept your application to join.
This is because of the past communications you have had with myself when I acted as Membership Development Officer where you used racist and misogynistic terms, suggesting that I prostitute myself to yourself for the Party, and alluding to the threat of rape. You also suggested foul play in the death of one of our members - to name but a few unpleasant details. These play completely against Liberal Democrat ethos, policies and rules.
I understand that the national party wrote to you previously also when Nick Clegg wrote to you to agree to accept your resignation and suggested that you desist from expressing your abhorrent views in public Having had the opportunities to read of your attempts to join many other political parties as well as currently trying to set up one of your own, it would seem that you are not eligible to join the Liberal Democrats.
I do not expect that you will continue your application. If you do, and appeal our decision I will prepare our case with details of our communications.

RECORD OF DISCUSSION WITH COMPLAINANT
DS 14005 MUCHEMWA had initial contact with the complainant Dr Panigrahi SHANTANU and
requested clarification on his complaint and set out the parameters of the investigation and
provide clarity of the investigator’s remit.
The complainant responded stating that, “
I cannot comment on these limitations as it is under
Judicial scrutiny at the Central London County Court under Claim E35YM660 in which I am
claiming £100 million in damages and compensation from the Treasury of the United Kingdom
which will be prejudiced against me if I agree to what you have suggested. Please direct all your
evidence for the Circuit Judge at the Central London County Court to consider. Please note that
any further communication to me from Kent Police will be read and filed with no action being
taken by me.”
After DS MUCHEMWA reviewed the initial complaint, the complainant made to the police in
which stated that he believes he was arrested unnecessarily by Kent Police on 5 occasions

RESTRICTED (when complete)
between 15 September 2021 and 20 April 2023 with a 6th coerced interview, with him being
falsely accused that he had stalked and sent out malicious communications to various individuals and institutions.
DS MUCHEMWA thereafter specifically asked the complainant what he objected to about these
arrests and whether there were specific actions by any individual officer or whether he thought
the arrests were not legal, proportionate, or necessary.
Complainant responded stating that,
“I cannot tell at this stage whether these were lawfully
proportionate as the other 5 Enforced Arrests were or were not, but the very fact that I was fully
exonerated as linked here:
https://www.knowledgeassessmentanddissemination.com/post/charge-refused-certificate-from-kent-police-and-the-restoration-of-seized-property means that it is for Kent Police to provide me with all the documents that were examined during each of the 7 arrests so that I can work out whether the procedures employed on me were lawful and proportionate.
Kindly provide me the documents before we meet.”
With the complainant not providing the specifics of his complaint, the investigation thereafter
looked at whether, the arrests were lawful, necessary, and proportionate.
I ADS CAULFIELD have not personally had contact with the complainant due to the above.
