Overview
- Greater Manchester Police confirmed Adil Khan was absent during an October 21 compliance check and later established he had left the country.
- The Home Office said Khan is now subject to a deportation order that prevents him from entering the UK in the future.
- Officials have not disclosed his destination or current location, and police are working with the Home Office to locate him.
- Khan was convicted in 2012 for trafficking and child sexual offences, received an eight-year sentence, and was released on licence in 2016.
- Previous attempts to remove him stalled after he and others renounced Pakistani citizenship, while recent reporting cited UK–Pakistan talks and resumed direct flights as potential enablers, and Rochdale’s MP renewed calls to deport Abdul Rauf.
