Convicted drug dealer flees to Islamabad

    A convicted drug dealer from Bradford is believed to have skipped bail to flee to Pakistan.

    Mujahid Mahmood, 28, of Hollins Street, Manningham, has been on trial at Bradford Crown Court for his part in the so-called Sully Line drug ring.

    Mahmood is suspected to have caught a flight to Islamabad last weekend after telling the jury he only had £60 in his bank account.

    He has been convicted by the jury in his absence of two charges of conspiracy to supply Class A drugs.

    His co-defendant, former champion boxer Luqman Nazir, 28, of Farcliffe Place, Heaton, Bradford, was found guilty of being concerned in the supply of heroin and crack cocaine.

    The presiding judge issued a warrant not backed for bail for Mahmood who will be sentenced when 17 defendants involved in the Sully Line operation are dealt with during a two-day hearing on 13 and 14 June.
