Who Was Ali Asghar From Rochdale? Age And Wikipedia
Ali Asghar from Rochdale was a taxi driver who was murdered in 2021.
On 30 October, two men booked a taxi on Uber to go from Oldham town center to Rochdale. One of the passengers began to eat his takeaway inside the vehicle and cursed the driver when asked to stop.
It caused Ali to pull over at a petrol station in Queensway. However, the two set up a savage and sustained attack outside the cab, leaving the victim with catastrophic head injuries.
Onlookers called the police, and the defendants got detained later with the help of another taxi driver who had witnessed the event. After the incident, he, with an unrecognizable face, got hospitalized but died two weeks later.
Although not on Wikipedia, Ali’s brother had given a short description of him in court. The 39-year-old had left his native country Pakistan for the United Kingdom in 2009.
An economics graduate, he first delivered leaflets, worked in a McDonald’s restaurant, and eventually became qualified for security jobs. He then gained his taxi license and worked extreme hours to provide financial support for his family back home.
