TikToker Mahek Bukhari found guilty of murder following fatal car chase Leicestershire Police \/ Instagram: maybvlogsTikToker Mahek Bukhari has been found guilty of murder after she and her mother \u2014 alongside several others \u2014 rammed a car off the road, resulting in the death of two men. Popular TikToker Mahek Bukhari was involved in a road traffic incident on February 11, 2022, that resulted in the deaths of two men; Saqib Hussain and Mohammed Hashim Ijazuddin, both 21. A murder investigation was launched and eight people were arrested and charged. Mahek\u2019s fellow defendants included her mother, Ansreen Bukhari, 45, Raees Jamal, 21, Rekan Karwan, 28, Sanaf Gulamustafa, 23, Ameer Jamal, 28, Natasha Akhtar, 21, and Mohammed Patel. Four have now been found guilty of murder after it was discovered the high-speed chase took place over a long-running affair that went sour between Ansreen and Saqib. Saqib had been threatening to expose the affair to Ansreen\u2019s husband and son using sexually explicit material after she had ended their three-year relationship a month prior. The prosecution alleged Saqib was then \u201clured\u201d to a car park to be \u201cjumped\u201d by Mahek\u2019s associates in an attempt to stop the blackmailing. Saqib\u2019s friend did not know the defendants and was only driving the vehicle as a \u201cfavor\u201d to his childhood friend. Saqib and his friend drove off with two cars carrying the eight defendants in pursuit. The chase reached speeds of up to 100mph before the victim\u2019s car was rammed off the road and engulfed in flames. The jury heard a panicked phone call Saqib made to 999 moments before the crash in which he said, \u201cI\u2019m being followed by two vehicles\u2026 they\u2019ve got balaclavas on\u2026 They\u2019re trying to kill me, I\u2019m going to die\u2026\u201d The victims\u2019 vehicle then hit a central reservation barrier and a tree while doing 80mlh, causing the car to be \u201csplit into two.\u201d \u201cThis was a callous and cold-blooded attack which ultimately cost two men their lives,\u201d said Mark Parish from the East Midlands major investigations unit. \u201cNone of the defendants made any attempt to help the victims or to call for help. Instead, they drove on and then even drove back past the collision site.\u201d A trial at Leicester Crown Court saw Mahek, Ansreen, Raees, and Rekan convicted of murder. Sanaf, Ameer, and Natasha were found not guilty of murder but were convicted of manslaughter, and Mohammed Patel was found not guilty of murder or manslaughter. Mahek sobbed as the verdict was delivered after more than 28 hours of deliberations and a three-month trial. The defendants will be sentenced on 1 September, with Mahek facing life in jail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
