Two men who were convicted in a grooming case in Bradford were caught attempting to smuggle drugs into jail under a judge’s nose.
Naveed Akhtar and Fahim Iqbal were thwarted trying to exchange cannabis resin, skunk cannabis, the heroin substitute Subutex, miniature mobile phones and sim cards to smuggle into Leeds Prison.
Akhtar, 44, of Newport Place, Manningham, Bradford, and Iqbal, 28, of Quarry Road, West Town, Dewsbury, were spotted by a dock officer committing the offences while the trial was running in open court.
Akhtar, who is serving 17 years for two offences of rape, and Iqbal, jailed for seven years for a charge of aiding and abetting rape, were both back at Bradford Crown Court to each receive five additional months imprisonment to run consecutively.
