Fake Taxi Driver Jailed for 20 Years After Brutal Rape
A man who tricked a woman by posing as a taxi driver before raping her has been slapped with a 20-year prison sentence. Derbyshire Police revealed the chilling case that rocked Sheffield and Chesterfield.
How the Horror Unfolded
In spring 2025, the victim was out with a friend in Sheffield. She left the club alone, thinking she’d caught a legitimate taxi home.
Shabir Sultani, pretending to be a taxi driver, offered her a lift. During the ride, he handed her vodka — which she wisely refused.
But the nightmare didn’t end there. Once they reached her Chesterfield home, Sultani forced his way inside despite her desperate pleas for him to leave.
