Rukhsar Ahmed, a former state minister in Pakistan, remains the subject of an ongoing investigation in the United Kingdom regarding allegations of rape and human trafficking. In July 2024, Ahmed was arrested at Manchester Airport following accusations that he groomed and trafficked at least two underage girls from care homes in the Rusholme area of Manchester during the 1990s.

Following his arrest, Ahmed was released on bail. Reports indicate that he subsequently traveled to Pakistan nearly two months ago. Since his departure, he has missed a mandatory appointment at a UK police station, citing medical reasons for his inability to fly. Despite his re-election as a member of parliament in Pakistan, Ahmed has reportedly declined to provide authorities with a specific timeline for his return to the UK to address the outstanding allegations. The situation remains a point of legal and diplomatic interest as authorities navigate the complexities of his status as a foreign official and a suspect in a serious criminal investigation.
