Who is Mahek Bukhari? TikTok influencer charged with murder of two men over sex tape release.

A TikTok influencer along with her mother and six others reportedly killed a man and his buddy in a high-speed automobile crash, a court was informed. Influencer Mahek Bukhari, her 45-year-old mother Ansreen Bukhari, and six other persons have been pressed with murder and an alternative count of manslaughter charges in connection with the killings of Ansreen's former lover Saqib Hussain, 21, and his friend Mohammed Hashim Ijazuddin. According to reports, Hussain was allegedly attempting to blackmail Ansreen for money by using improper images and videos. The Leicester Crown Court was informed that all of the defendants conspired to murder Hussain. According to the victim, the mother-daughter pair instructed her to meet them and steal $3461 (£3k). However, Hussain and Ijazuddin were killed in a car crash on the A46 at Six Hills in Leicestershire before the rendezvous when they were being pursued by two vehicles.

“The revelation of the affair could have ruined Asreen Bukhari's marriage and damaged her reputation in her community. It could also have affected Mahek's relationship with her father because she knew about the affair. Mahek was a social influencer and had a large number of followers on TikTok and the revelations of the affair might have been damaging to her standing with her followers,” the prosecutor noted. Thompson explained, “They set a trap that seems to have been hatched on the afternoon of February 10. The idea was to lure Saqib into a meeting. Once at that meeting, he would be confronted with numerical superiority and it was hoped he would hand the phone over. If he was not prepared to hand the phone over they were willing to cause him a serious injury, if not silence him completely.” The 999 call, which Hussain had dialed on the tragic day, reportedly heard him saying, “I'm being followed by two vehicles. They're trying to block me in. They've got balaclavas on. They're trying to ram me off the road. They're trying to kill me. I'm going to die! I just came to Leicester to see one of my mates who goes to university here. They hit into the back of the car very fast. Please, I'm begging you, I'm going to die. No!” Hussain's phone was destroyed in the incident on February 11, but data was recovered by officials via iCloud. Other than Mehek and Ansreen, those accused of the murders include Natasha Akhtar, 22, Raees Jamal, 22, Rekan Karwan, 28, Mohammed Patel, 20, Sanaf Gulammustafa, 22, and Ameer Jamal, 27, who is also charged with manslaughter in addition to two charges of murder. All of them, however, have denied having any involvement in the double homicide.

“The police were able to obtain access to his information on the iCloud from his phone and this is how the police pieced together their relationship. Between August 10, 2021 and February 9 2022, Saqib had contacted Ansreen Bukhari 1,702 times. Ansreen contacted Saqib in this period 214 times too. The number of calls suggest there was a relationship between the two of them. Mobile phone information on iCloud showed that there was a sexual relationship between the two,” the prosecutor stated. Besides, the court was informed that the victims’ car was seen by drivers who passed that area before cops were called. Thompson added, “By the time the police got onto the dual carriage they could see a fire in the distance. Because of the intensity of the fire they could not safely approach it. Only when they had put out the fire did they see a body hanging out the car and another body in the driver's seat. They were both 21 years old and identified through dental investigations. By 9:30 am on the same morning three of the defendants here today had been arrested. This was Natasha Akhtar, Mahek Bukhari and Ansreen Bukhari.”
