GHULAM HAIDER, BIRMINGHAM TAXI DRIVER, SENTENCED FOR RAPE IN ACOKCS GREEN
In August 2006, a disturbing case unfolded in Birmingham involving a local taxi driver, Ghulam Haider, who was convicted of heinous crimes against a teenage girl passenger.
The incident took place in the Acocks Green area, where Haider, a private hire driver associated with Premier Cars, picked up the 16-year-old girl from her boyfriend's residence.
