Grooming gang leader moved after address revealed on social media
- Convicted grooming gang ringleader Shabir Ahmed, 73, was moved from an Accrington bail hostel after his location was leaked on social media; the Ministry of Justice transferred him to an alternative site following the unauthorized disclosure.
- Ahmed, known to victims as 'Daddy', was released from prison on July 2 after serving 14 years of a 19-year sentence for 2012 rape and sexual offences against girls as young as 12.
- Hyndburn MP Sarah Smith stated she was 'disgusted' by the placement, while local community leaders warned the hostel caused 'significant distress, fear and anger' among Accrington residents.
- Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood announced plans this week to amend the Immigration Act 1971, stating it 'should not be used as a bar against removal' for serious criminals.
- Mahmood admitted in the Commons on Monday that the government remains unable to deport Ahmed unless Pakistan formally agrees to accept him, leaving deportation uncertain despite the proposed law change.
