Excerpt:
A Muslim community leader claimed he was abducted by members of the British National Party, a court has heard.
Noor Ramjanally, 36, of Loughton, Essex, has denied attempting to pervert the course of justice by falsely telling police he had been abducted.
Chelmsford Crown Court heard Mr Ramjanally had complained of having accelerant poured through his letterbox prior to being "kidnapped".
The court heard the local council spent £1,300 improving security at his home.
