Kasir Bashir, a 50-year-old man convicted of grooming and raping young girls in Rochdale, remains at large despite an international manhunt. He disappeared before his trial, which proceeded in his absence, leading to his conviction. Bashir had complied with bail conditions until his disappearance, but his current whereabouts are unknown. Rochdale MP Paul Waugh has raised concerns about the bail decision and called for a review. Greater Manchester Police continue their efforts to locate him.
