A THUG who drove 100 miles to beat a man with a cricket stump cannot be deported as a judge ruled he is not a public threat.
Akshay Parsotam, 25, broke lockdown rules to carry out the gang attack in 2020.
He travelled from Leicester to , North West , for the premeditated assault.
Portuguese-born Parsotam was convicted of violent disorder and GBH and jailed for 7½ years in February 2021.
On his release in 2024, the moved to deport him, issuing a removal order which he appealed.
An unnamed tribunal judge decided Parsotam was not a public threat — despite his release risk assessment ruling he had a high chance of re-offending.
The judge also said Parsotam was “likely to mature out of the lack of consequential thinking”;.
His lawyers argued he had not lived in and does not speak the language so could not be rehabilitated there.
The Home Office has since won a new hearing because the judge had not sufficiently explained their judgment.
