The claims were made on June 24, 2019, by former Dunedin Airport security officer Preetam Prakash Maid (32). Following the comment, a more senior officer (Officer D) entered the interview room and allegedly pointed his fingers at the man in an aggressive manner and threatened him and his family. However, Officer A told the authority he was not threatening Maid when talking about his job application. Officer D told the authority he had been popping into the monitoring room from time to time, to see how the interview was progressing. ‘‘The officers’ comments were relevant in the circumstances that they were made,’’ Judge Doherty said.
