   SUED: Miah Rahman is accused of not returning thousands of pounds of donations given to build a mosque in Brentwood

Miah Rahman allegedly promised to use the cash to build the Muslim temple because worshippers had to use a local community hall.

However, after the proposals were shelved two years later, they were left empty-handed, Central London County Court heard on Monday.

Formed as a result, the Brentwood and South East Cultural Association currently occupies a nondescript community hut owned by the Brentwood Army Cadets.
