Rochdale Grooming Gang Cannot Be Deported After Tearing Up Pakistan Passports
19th June 2025
Pakistan is refusing to take back the ringleaders of the Rochdale child grooming scandal after they renounced their citizenship.
Ministers are engaged in high-level talks with the Pakistan government to persuade them to drop their block on the deportations of Qari Abdul Rauf and Adil Khan, two of Britain’s worst grooming offenders. Sources indicated that progress was being made.
The pair lost appeals against deportation in 2018 but remain in Britain.
Pakistan officials told The Telegraph it would be “extremely difficult” to take back such dangerous criminals and that there was “no basis to accept them” if they had renounced their citizenship.
I suppose dropping them into the Atlantic from about 1,000 feet is off the table.
UPDATE: These are not ‘Asian’ grooming gangs, they are Kashmiri Muslim
