Wanted Convicted Rapist Amjid Khan on the Run in Rochdale
Greater Manchester Police are hunting Amjid Khan, a 48-year-old convicted rapist, after he broke the terms of his prison release. Khan is now wanted on recall to custody, and officers are urging the public to help locate him urgently.
Who Is Amjid Khan?
Khan, born 11 June 1976, has strong ties to 123 at 0800 555 111
Khan is believed to still have connections in Rochdale but may have moved elsewhere in Greater Manchester. Local community groups are helping spread the word and encouraging residents to remain alert.
Why This Manhunt Matters
Khan’s case is a stark reminder of the ongoing risks posed by serious offenders in the community. According to the Office for National Statistics, crime in Greater Manchester rose 7% from 2022 to 2023, with sexual offences a top policing priority.
The incident also raises tough questions about post-release supervision, victim support, and trust in the justice system’s ability to keep communities safe.
