After Stocks’ death Jahangir told the police he “would never drive again” but on 11 September 2024 he committed a second offence of dangerous driving.
Judge Rose said that Jahangir driving dangerously again after the death of Stocks was “incomprehensible”.
He was driving along Bolton Road when he was spotted by police overtaking a queue of traffic waiting to turn into a junction.
When a police car indicated for him to pull over he sped away leading to a six-minute police chase around Bradford city centre and Girlington.
During the chase, police estimated he had travelled at speeds of more than 100mph and run through at least three red lights, at times travelling head-on into oncoming traffic.
The drug-dealing offences, to which he also pleaded guilty, related to a period between 16 April and 12 June 2025 when police found he was using a mobile phone to advertise and sell drugs on the streets.
Defending barrister Craig McGregor said if Jahangir could “turn back the clock he would”.
He said Jahangir accepted full responsibility for his actions and had made an “avoidable mistake”.
“He described his actions as stupid and reckless,” McGregor added.
The court heard how Jahangir was 19 at the time of the death by dangerous driving offence and was a carer for his older brother who had autism and ADHD.
In respect of the drug-dealing offences, McGregor told the court Jahangir had needed money to help his family.
But Judge Rose said Jahangir had been employed in the family business at the time and did not accept this mitigation.
He was sentenced to seven years and seven months for the offence of death by dangerous driving, 10 months for dangerous driving and two years for dealing Class A drugs.
