The victim of an Oxford barrister who was jailed this week after framing her ex-lover for rape, kidnap and stabbing her after finding out he was married has spoken of his ordeal.

Anisah Ahmed, 33, staged a 'comprehensive and orchestrated' revenge campaign against fellow barrister Iqbal Mohammed, Oxford Crown Court heard. 

This week Iqbal Mohammed compared the dark harassment he faced to the plot of the movie Fatal Attraction.

He told after seeing her jailed that he believed he was targeted following his BBC documentary debut.

Lawyer Ahmed met Iqbal Mohammed on LinkedIn over six years ago. The pair engaged in a sexual relationship for six months before she discovered he was married and set about a dark and twisted plan for revenge.

At Oxford Crown Court, the barrister was given a discretionary life sentence with a minimum term of four years, six months and 10 days by a judge who described her plan as "evil."

This week victim Iqbal Mohammed explained how Ahmed had sent him a "strange" message on professional networking app LinkedIn two years before messaging again and he went on to describe the horrific ordeal which followed -  leaving him to consider taking his own life.

The 38-year-old said: "I can’t put into words what it was like. I saw Fatal Attraction a couple of years ago but I couldn’t watch it because it was just like what happened to me, it was like the life that I lived.

"There was no enjoyment or entertainment in it because it was scary to see this sort of thing in a film because I had lived it. It started off as harassment which was frustrating and then it became really dangerous and dark and really scary, frightening.

“I would never have thought the judge would pass a life sentence, I think most people would think that’s crazy because she hasn’t killed anyone but I do not think anyone would realise the depths of what she did.

“We met socially through LinkedIn. She worked in a law firm in Oxford but we met and started flirting and that is how it started.

“I was told by the police later that she probably targeted me because I had been in a documentary on the BBC called The Barristers and she knew who I was and had some sort of interest in me."

At Oxford Crown Court Judge Gledhill QC referred to a pre-sentence report from Mathilda Wensley, explaining that Ahmed’s behaviour was related to her want to discredit those with positions of power, particularly within the criminal justice system, males, and those who she felt had challenged or discredited her.

On Tuesday the victim - who is a commercial barrister at St Philips Barristers - explained how he was arrested at his chambers following Ahmed's original false harassment claims.

He said: "Being arrested at my chambers was awful, it was really awful. The police claimed they couldn’t find my address so a group of them turned up at my chambers with prior arrangement with the Head of my Chambers to arrest me.

"The only small mercy that they showed was that they didn’t come in uniform and they didn’t put cuffs on me until I was in the car but they marched me out, it was such an incredibly bad experience.

"Ahmed is a really disturbed person, she really holds a grudge, she is really obsessed with revenge and taking people down and destroying people.  She is very committed and belligerent.

"I hope this is the end of it. I have moved on hugely with my life, it is difficult to talk about it but I am hoping it is the end of it. I really hope for her that she does somehow get rehabilitated and that she gets the medical and psychological help she needs.”

Commenting on the discretionary life sentence passed to Ahmed, Mr Mohammed - who had been nominated at Birmingham Law Society Award for Barrister of the Year 2020 - added: "It was a long, long case. It is a stunning sentence and unbelievably just and fair, I would not have expected that kind of sentence with my experience of this process. I was astonished that the judge passed that sentence to be honest.

“I wish this would disappear as it is quite embarrassing, it was quite traumatic and it is horrid what happened but the sentence speaks for itself."
