Two notorious Rochdale grooming gang ringleaders could finally be deported to Pakistan – a decade after a judge first authorised their forced departure.
Qari Abdul Rauf, 55, and Adil Khan, 54, may be sent home at last after the UK dropped a ban on direct flights between the two countries dating back five years.
The child groomers, at the heart of a child abuse ring where girls as young as 12 were groomed with free booze and drugs before being gang-raped, held dual British-Pakistani citizenship, but were stripped of their British nationality when they were convicted and jailed in 2012.
