DUNDEE MAN FAHD AHMED CONVICTED OF ABUSE AND RECEIVED COMMUNITY SENTENCE
A woman from Dundee has come forward to share her traumatic experience of being abused by Fahd Ahmed.She stated that the abuse began a few days after their arranged marriage in February 2023 and continued for several weeks.
Speaking anonymously to The Courier, she expressed her fear, saying, "No one should have to go through what I did.
I believed I was going to be killed." She recounted the ongoing emotional toll and loss, noting, "The abuse has left me with nothing.
I am still dealing with trauma, and he still has all my belongings — including my underwear." Fahd Ahmed, aged 35, pleaded guilty to various abusive acts, including shouting at her repeatedly, issuing threats, attempting to take her phone and demanding her pin, making offensive remarks, and tearing her clothing.
He was sentenced to a 20-month community payback order with supervision and instructed to participate in a domestic abuse programme.
A one-year non-harassment order was also imposed.
The woman described how Ahmed’s constant monitoring, accusations, and controlling behaviour left her feeling emotionally and physically paralyzed, resulting in her being unable to work and needing therapy.
She expressed her wish that no other women would suffer similar experiences.
