A constable with the Edmonton Police Service admitted he used inappropriate force against a man with mental health issues in 2017. Lychak told investigating officers he hit his head on the wall and suffered bruising to his hip and back along with soreness to his neck and shoulder. Lychak told the officer he was going to try to kill himself and that he had attempted suicide in the past. At the disciplinary hearing, Prabhu admitted he said, "Go ahead." As a result, Prabhu went on a six-month medical leave in December 2017 and sought psychological help.
