George Galloway’s former secretary has been arrested - along with her anti-terrorism officer husband - on suspicion of data protection offences. Aisha Ali-Khan and her husband, Detective Inspector Afiz Khan, were both arrested on Wednesday on suspicions relating to the mis-use of police databases. It follows Galloway's allegations in October of 'dirty tricks' by the pair - although the arrests are not believed to be connected to his specific complaints. Accusation: Mr Galloway accused Aisha Ali-Khan (left) of a dirty-tricks campaign against him with her husband, Afiz Khan (right) Mr Galloway suspended mother-of-one Miss Khan, 32, from her role in October - claiming the couple ran a smear campaign against the Respect MP for Bradford West, including encouraging the Guardian newspaper to run a piece against the party.
