The 56-year-old was found guilty by a jury of assault and cruelty against his children, all of whom are now adults.

Sentencing from Judge Kirsty Real described him as a “negotiator”.

Launch BBC on Friday (16/4/2021), Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said the man from Windsor Berkshire is obsessed with fitness and diet.

He forced his daughter to sign documents stating that he would do lots of exercise “and” never get fat, even two to death.

Prosecutor Alex Krickler told the court that Khadla also threw a chair at his son, who was nine years old.

The violence caused keloid sores to the ear, which required “a lot of surgery and treatment.”

“He described being made to feel worthless and stupid by his father. There was anxiety and eating disorders,” said the prosecutor disclosing the plight of Khadla’s children.

Ruined childhood

The three children were regularly physically attacked with wooden spoons.

Khadla also supervises her children and limits who they can be friends with, and what activities they can do.

Khadla’s behavior came to light in 2019, when her teenage son told police that his father had strangled and punched him in an attack.

In the victim’s statement, the eldest son said the abuse started when he was five years old. The condition has left her with “long-term mental health problems.”

He described his father as a “smart man” who “planned and calculated every move”.

He added that the harassment caused him to be bullied at school. But that he said was almost better than the life he’d left at home.

Khadla, of Dedworth Road, Windsor, pleaded not guilty to two counts of assault resulting in bodily injury and three counts of cruelty to his son.

But the Real Judge who sentenced him said the man had “effectively destroyed the childhood of the children,” through “numerous incidents of atrocities over the years”.

He said: “You are a bully, and you don’t want to accept or admit it.”
