Ukip Commonwealth spokesman forced to resign after he is exposed as leader of a kidnapping gang in Pakistan

A Ukip campaigner who helped to boost the party’s multi-cultural credentials has been revealed as the former leader of a Pakistani kidnapping gang.

Mujeeb ur Rehman Bhutto, the party’s Commonwealth spokesman, organised a visit to a mosque for Ukip leader Nigel Farage and helped canvass in a key by-election in which the party came close to gaining its first MP.

But – in the latest embarrassment for the party – the 35-year-old has admitted being the ‘boss’ of a high-profile gang which struck in Karachi in 2004, in a kidnapping that netted him a £56,000 ransom payment.

Bhutto admitted charges in a British court the following year and received a seven-year jail sentence.

Whoops ...

Puriel, it's been too long!

Didn't know whether to laugh or cry at that one. They actually accept a Pakistani gentleman, and then he turns out to be a kidnapper. You couldn't make it up! What a bunch of idiots. As he'd been to jail they only had to check the records. Couldn't run a sweetshop never mind a country.

If they knew anything about corner shops they would have seen him for what he is.
