A grooming gang leader continues to live freely in Rochdale, raising public outrage over his past crimes and current lifestyle.
He was sentenced to six years but only served about two and a half years before being released. At the time, he was supposed to be deported to Pakistan, but guess what? He’s still hanging around Rochdale, working for a takeaway delivery app and acting like he owns the place.
People in the neighborhood are furious. One mom said it’s unbelievable that he’s still there after what he did to those young girls. It’s just disgusting. Rauf was part of a gang that abused up to 47 girls, some as young as 12, and now he’s living in a three-bedroom house like nothing ever happened.
He even tried to fight his deportation, claiming it violated his human rights because he has a family in the UK. His appeal was turned down, but he’s still here, and he even renounced his Pakistani citizenship, making him stateless and harder to deport.
This whole situation has sparked outrage, especially with calls for a national inquiry into grooming gangs being brushed off by politicians. It’s a real mess, and people are demanding answers about how someone like Rauf can still be in the country after all he’s done. It’s a tough pill to swallow for the community.
