Mohammed Nisar Khan, better known as King Meggy Khan, is currently serving a life sentence for murder.
Before this, he was a notorious criminal in Bradford and has a long history of criminal offences. These involve crimes and allegations which include assault, handling stolen goods, robbery, possession of firearms, perverting the course of justice and theft.
In November 2008, he appeared in Bradford Magistrate's Court charged with conspiracy to sell Class A drugs worth £700,000 alongside two other men. At the time, he was 30 years old and the case was eventually dropped due to a lack of evidence.
This appears to be one of his earliest appearances in the press. However, one of his earlier appearances took place in 1999, when he was arrested for robbery after stealing a watch, one of the first steps on a journey which led to murder.
Later, in 2009, an uncle and nephew appeared in court on charges of conspiring to kill Meggy. A third person was also wanted in connection with this case, but he fled leading to an international manhunt.
In 2011, he was also jailed for 30 months for affray. This was the last time he was in jail before his life sentence.
Years later in 2018, Meggy became linked to the Yasser Yaqub case after he was accused of being a police informant who told the police Mr Yaqub had a gun. This was just minutes after Meggy had met with Yaqub to sort out a dispute.
In 2019, he was handed a life sentence in jail after being found guilty of the murder of Amriz Iqbal in 2018. He was found guilty of a hit-and-run which led to Mr Iqbal's death.
The attack on 40-year-old Amriz Iqbal took place in October as he walked along Sandford Road in Bradford Moor with a friend.
The pair were hit by a Kia Sedona being driven by Bradford criminal Mohammed Nisar Khan, 41, of Holme Lane, Tong - known as "Meggy".
Judge Jonathan Durham Hall described the attack as "ruthless and barbaric".
Mr Iqbal, from Bradford, died from his injuries in hospital, but his friend Adnan Ahmed was not badly hurt in the crash.
The Recorder of Bradford said Khan "clearly commanded obedience and loyalty from others and his actions demonstrated that he was dangerous and considered himself untouchable".
Now, much of Meggy's property has been confiscated. In February 2020 his Porsche Cayenne, which bore the registration ’MEG5S’ was confiscated by the police.
A National Crime Agency investigation into businessman Mansoor Mahmood Hussain, who had links to Meggy and other criminals, having £10 million confiscated by an unexplained wealth order. In 2021, a luxury apartment on an exclusive development in Huddersfield was confiscated by the NCA after it was found it was owned by Khan.
