Mahek Bukhari was a rising TikTok star who had her sights set on a career in social media.

With 126,000 followers, she earned an income through brand promotions and attending product launch events across the UK.

However, Saqib, who arrived with his friend Hashim Ijazuddin, soon sensed something was wrong and left the scene.

Just one minute after this call, Saqib called 999.

He said: “They hit the back of the car very quickly. They're trying to run us off the road.

“Please, I'm begging you, I think I'm going to die, I think I'm going to die.”

Are Skoda was then chased by two cars containing eight people, including the Bukharis.
