A young man who died in a high-speed car chase in southern England earlier this year had been madly in love with TikTok star Mahek Bukhari’s mother, more than twice older than him.
Saqib Hussain and his friend, both aged 21, were killed after their Skoda Fabia was hit by one of the two cars pursuing the duo near the Six Hills junction on the A46 on February 11.
Bukhari, her mother Ansreen and six others, all on board the two cars following the Fabia from Leicester, have been charged with murder.
In a statement read out during the trial at Leicester Crown Court, Hussain’s sister Sana said her brother was “head over heels" in love with Ansreen, 45. The relationship began when Hussain was 18 and was on and off. She said he was heartbroken after their three-year affair finally ended. He had demanded £2,000 as compensation for the money he had spent on Ansreen.
A day before the fatal crash, Sana’s father told her to speak with Hussain who had been sulking in his bedroom for two days.
"I went to speak to Saqib in his bedroom. I asked what was wrong but he wouldn't tell me. He asked me to leave. I said, 'We are close and tell each other everything'. But he just said 'no' and asked me to leave his room," she said.
When she heard that Hussain planned to meet Ansreen and Bukhari to collect the money, she warned her brother that someone could "rush" him during the meeting.
In a statement made to Leicestershire Police, Ansreen’s husband Ali Raza said he was not aware of his wife’s affair with the young man or anyone else. But he admitted someone named Saqib had sent him a comment on Tik Tok saying his wife was having an affair.
"Someone put a comment that said something about my wife having an affair. I never told my wife about it - I assumed it was just nonsense,” he said in his police statement in February.
Natasha Akhtar of Alum Rock Road in Birmingham, Ameer Jamal of Catherine Street in Leicester, Sanaf Gulammustafa of Littlemore Close in Leicester, Rekan Karwan of Tomlin Road in Leicester, Raees Jamal of Lingdale Close in Loughborough and Mohammed Patel of Braybrooke Road in Leicester are the other defendants in the case.

A former Hertfordshire officer resigned before his misconduct ruling
‘Former Hertfordshire police officer made racist slurs against Asians'
A FORMER Hertfordshire police officer made racist comments to colleagues on multiple occasions, a misconduct panel has found.
PC Oliver Gobey, who resigned as an officer on the morning of the misconduct hearing, directed racist comments at people of Asian descent on two separate occasions.
In the first incident, he directed a “racially motivated” comment at a police sergeant to suggest they had been recruited after 9/11 because they were Asian.
Gobey was immediately challenged by PC Wallace, an “experienced officer” who had been a tutor constable for twenty years.
In a second incident, Gobey was in a police vehicle in Hitchin town centre with three colleagues. A man of Asian descent and his friends approached the officers and spoke to Wallace. The man said he was from Birmingham and asked for recommendations on places to visit.
After the man had walked away, Gobey said: “Or you have come down here to escape the honour-based violence you have caused.”Gobey was again challenged by Wallace. Gobey denied making the racist comments, but the panel concluded on the balance of probabilities that both incidents had taken place.
The panel’s report said: “They were discriminatory comments and they were his own. They were unprovoked. No one encouraged him.”
The panel also concluded that Gobey “chose to lie” about a business interest. He repeatedly failed to submit a proper application to continue part-time work for a private ambulance service and voluntary work for St John Ambulance, but continued with the latter regardless.
He also told a supervisor his business interest application had been successful, when it had not been.
In a fourth incident, Gobey “deliberately typed in random numbers” when assigned to work in the Resource Management Unit (RMU).
His figures, which were found to be wrong, came after Gobey “gave the impression to his colleagues that the work in RMY was ‘beneath’ him”.
While working there, he was heard “swearing about the work”. He was “short-tempered and ‘snappy’.” The panel’s report said: “The compilation of the figures … were far from being a simple administrative matter.
“It was essential operational information required by senior officers to decide how scarce resources would be deployed in the coming days.”
The panel found all the allegations against Gobey to be proven on the balance of probabilities, and concluded that they amounted to “serious gross misconduct” that would have led to him being sacked without notice if he had not resigned. He has also been added to the College of Policing barred list.
