INFLUENCER Mehek Bukhari, jailed for double homicide with her mother, is active on TikTok.
The 24-year-old is still being allowed to have a platform – with her videos racking up views – despite her terrifying role in killing two men.
This also means that Mahek, who has several million perspectives on his viral videos, can earn a source of income from his TikTok account even if he is broke.
Mahek and her accomplice mum Ansreen, 46, murdered Saqib Hussain, 21, and his pal Mohammed Hashim Ijazuddin, also 21.
Ansreen had an affair with Saqib that would cost him pounds and lead him on lavish dates.
During the course of their three-year relationship, they regularly met up for sexual trysts in hotels in Birmingham and London.
Ansreen to take down his lover Saqib, which angered him and led him to threaten to reveal Ansreen to her husband.
The murderous mother-daughter duo hatched a plot to silence Saqib.
They arranged a meeting in a Tesco car park, and got others to “jump” him.
His Skoda then chased two cars carrying eight people, including the Bukharis.
Saqib was found dead in a burning car, along with his friend Mohammed after their car was rammed off the A46 in a 100mph chase in Leicestershire.
Their bodies were so burned that their families can barely identify them.
Fame had come to him. She thinks she is untouchable.
Months after Mehek’s conviction, her TikTok account with 164,000 fans is active.
The Sun first reported the shock back in September – with bosses yet to pull her page.
Although she’s not posting from inside her cell, her videos – including ones joking about murder – are still being watched.
Saqib’s father Sajad is still haunted by what happened.
In his first interview since the February 2022 murders, he told The Sun: “We never thought about burying our own son. He is very raw.
And he insists that social media is partly to blame — after Mahek’s “fame” on the site dragged her into a fantasy life.
Sajad, 46, a father-of-five from Banbury, Oxon, said: “Fame reached him. She considered herself untouchable, above the law.
And he believes Saqib, who was about 18 when the case began, actually “tried” through Ansreen, a mother of two.
Sajad says, “This would have been his first serious relationship. I think he is her completely.
“He was so young. It might not have been illegal, but it was still grooming, I think. She is older than his own mother. She should have known better.”
And he says of the social media platform that made Mahek a star: “TikTok played a big part in this. If there was no social media, they might never have met up and none of this would have happened.”
TikTok, who are not obligated to delete her account, has been contacted for comment.
Sajad has decided to break his silence — along with Mohammed Hashim’s father Sikander Hayat — ahead of appearing in ITV documentary, TikTok: Murder Gone Viral — The Mother & Daughter Killers.
The documentary will air on ITV on Tuesday at 9pm.
