Fatal attack in Bradford - £20,000 reward offered for information

In a tragic incident that occurred on 21 October 2024, Luqman Ishfaq, a 24-year-old man from Bradford, lost his life following a violent attack.

We're offering a reward of up to £20,000 for information that leads to the identification and conviction of those responsible for his murder.

On that fateful evening, Luqman was parked with friends in a black VW Golf outside Barkerend Fisheries on Barkerend Road in Bradford when they were violently rammed by the suspects using 4 wheel drive vehicles. A group of 15-20 suspects, armed with blunt and bladed weapons, chased Luqman onto Barlow Street, where he was fatally attacked. This shocking act of violence has left the community in mourning and searching for answers.

The suspects fled the scene in the vehicles involved and later caused further damage at an address on Upper Rushton Road before abandoning the cars in the Attock Park area of Bradford.

To date, more than 19 suspects have been arrested by the police, who are continuing their extensive investigations into this harrowing case.
