Sheikh was fired last year after a misconduct investigation found he sent inappropriate text messages to a member of the Regina Board of Police Commissioners.
Mayor Chad Bachynski said in October that the messages were sent over several months and included an in-camera discussion about Sheikh’s employment contract.
Sheikh was fired with cause, without severance pay, and the city has since hired Chief Lorilee Davies.
