A grooming gang abuser is involved in attempts to convert a property into a children’s care home in Leeds, GB News can reveal.
Abid Younis, who was jailed for two-and-a-half-years in 2015 after being convicted of sexual activity with a child, is the owner of a property being converted into a care home.
Planning applications for a property owned by Younis show that he previously submitted an application to change its use to a 21-bedroom hotel. This was rejected due to parking concerns.
But the property was put in for another application in December.
A letter, seen by GB News, was sent to local residents inviting them to an open day at the property.
The author of the letter introduced themselves as the proposed manager of a home to be set up by QASA Care Services, explaining that the home would be for “young children.”
The property referred to in the letter is the same as the property owned by Younis.
In some planning applications for the property posted on the Leeds Council website, Younis uses his full name.
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
But in more recent applications, the applicant is referred to as “Mr A Hussain” or “Abid Hussain.”
The People's Channel has also seen an application by QASA Care Services, signed by “Faz Farooq”, for the property owned by Younis.
The application notes that Faz Chaudhary is an agent acting on behalf of the applicant.
QASA Care Services has one director listed on Companies House called Omar Farooq.
It lists the proposed change of use from a “dwelling house” into a “residential care home.”
GB News has seen correspondence between councillors and council officials expressing concern at the planning proposal.
Younis, Chaudhary and the company director for QASA Care Services, Farooq, did not respond to a request for comment.
