The City of London Police’s Insurance Fraud Enforcement Department (IFED) was contacted on 19 June 2017 by insurers Hastings Direct about suspicions involving a crash that happened in November 2016.
The crash occurred when Zahir Ali was driving in Rochdale and he gestured to allow a woman to pull out of a junction in front of him.
As she moved onto the road in front of him, he deliberately drove his vehicle into the victim’s car at low speed.
Zahir Ali contacted a vehicle recovery company and a solicitors firm was also contacted. Zahir Ali submitted injury claims to the solicitors firm for himself, as well as Ahsan Ali and Hussnain Ali on their behalf.
The witnesses confirmed that Zahir Ali was the only person in his car at the time. He left the scene of the crash alone.
An assessment of the damage by a representative of the Institute of Motoring Industry found that Zahir Ali’s car had sustained damage after the collision on 16 November 2016 which had caused it to become immobile.
Zahir Ali and Ahsan Ali each claimed to be suffering from back pain. Hussnain Ali attended a medical examination on 22 February 2017 and claimed to be suffering from shoulder and neck pain. The doctor felt that these injuries were all consistent with a car crash.
It was found in investigation that Zahir Ali took a kind gesture and used it to create a crash that only served his own greed and that of Ahsan and Hussnain Ali.
Zahir Ali was sentenced to 12 months in prison, suspended for two years, and given 100 hours community service.
Ahsan Ali and Hussnain Ali were both sentenced to six months in prison, suspended for two years, and given 70 hours community service.
All three men were also ordered to pay £250 each in court costs.
