TikTok star ‘murdered’ mum’s lover in high-speed crash after he shared sex tape

A Tiktok influencer murdered her mother’s lover after he threatened to release her sex tape, a court has been told.

Mahek Bukhari is accused of hatching a plot to stop Saqib Hussain from leaking revenge porn images of 45-year-old Ansreen Bukhari.

Saqib and his friend Mohammed Hashim Ijazuddin, both 21, died when their car was rammed off the road on February 11.

A court heard Mahek, 23, had launched a ‘trap’ in order ‘to silence’ Saqib after he threatened to send the explicit material to Ansreen’s husband and son.

Saqib also blackmailed the mum and demanded £2,000 to £3,000 in return for not releasing the images and ‘dirty’ videos, it was claimed.

Jurors heard that Mahek, concerned for the impact on her own social media following, vowed to get the 21-year-old ‘jumped by guys’ in revenge.

Saqib and Mohammed, of Banbury, Oxfordshire, were killed instantly when their Skoda Fabia hit a tree at high speed and split into two on the A46 in Leicester.

A chilling 999 call was then played to the jury.

In the clip, Saqib pleads: ‘I am being followed by two vehicles. They are trying to ram me off the road.

‘They’re right behind. They’re hitting into the back of the car very fast. I am going to be rammed off the road.

‘Please sir I just need help and I am in danger.

‘They are trying to kill me. Please I’m begging you, I’m going to die.’

He then can be heard screaming before a loud crash is heard.

Mehek is charged with two counts of murder and an alternative charge of manslaughter alongside her mother Ansreen and friend Natasha Akhtar, 22.

The trio have gone on trial along with Raees Jamal, 22, Rekan Karwan, 28, Mohammed Patel, 20, Sanaf Gulammustafa, 22 and Ameer Jamal, 27, who face the same charges.

The case was opened at Leicester Crown Court today.

Prosecutor Collingwood Thompson KC told the jury: ‘The telephone call led to a major investigation into this case which revealed a story of love, obsession, anger, attempts at extortion and ultimately murder.

‘This was no accident, he knew what was happening to him.

‘That 999 call sparked a major murder investigation.’

Mr Thompson told the court Saqib’s sister had revealed he was having an affair of three years with Ansreen.
