There is NO defense for giving an employee a hard time. To even treat that employee differently they would have to prove both the non/under -performance and that he had been informed, explanation, and targets/goals with criteria and dates.
Assuming that what he is purported to have said, as reported by the BBC, is true. Then he's got this one nailed.
And it won't affect future opportunities in any negative way. And Patel still has a career direction, it's just no longer up.
Of course, if he said it and it isn't true, then he'll be the one on a spit.
