A man who posed as a taxi driver and raped a woman has been sentenced to 20 years behind bars. Derbyshire Police confirmed the horrific case that unfolded in Sheffield and Chesterfield.
How the Attack Unfolded
In spring 2025, the victim was out with a friend in Sheffield. She decided to head home alone, leaving her friend behind. As she left the club, she climbed into a car she believed was a taxi.
Shabir Sultani, claiming to be a taxi driver, offered to take her home. During the trip, he offered her vodka, which she refused. Once they reached her Chesterfield home, he forced his way inside, ignoring her repeated pleas to leave.
