A tycoon forced to sell his home after his tyre-fitting businesses was torched has increased a reward he is offering to £40,000 saying: “don’t be so cowardly man up and face me.”
Zahid Khan, 29, had offered a £25,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or people responsible for the arson attack at the Bulls and Horses Auto Centre in Stratford Road, Sparkhill.
It was not the first time he has been targeted - almost two years ago the businessman was ambushed by gun thugs as he sat in his £250,000 Rolls Royce. They demanded a £10,000 cash ransom from his relatives for his release.
Four men were later jailed at Birmingham Crown Court for a total of 41 years for blackmail and firearm offences.
Multi-millionaire Mr Khan has put his plush home up for sale at a cut price £700,000 to move to a safer location.
