The TikTok star who was arrested for the murder of two men allegedly helped her mom run her young lover and his pal off the side of a British road to hide their affair and sex tapes, prosecutors said this week.

Mahek Bukhari, 23, and her mother, Ansreen Bukhari, 45, are on trial this week for allegedly chasing Saqib Hussain, 21, off the road as he fled from them with his childhood friend Mohammed Hashim Ijazuddin in Leicester last February.

The two men died in the fiery crash, which had ripped their car in two.

Prosecutor Collingwood Thompson KC told the court Monday that an investigation over the men’s deaths ultimately uncovered a “story of love, obsession, extortion and, ultimately, cold-blooded murder,” The Times reported.

The attorney claimed Ansreen had an on-off affair with Hussain for about three years, and the young man “could not accept” that the married woman wanted to call things off for good.

Thompson said Hussain threatened to tell Ansreen’s husband and sons about their affair, as well as leak sexually explicit videos and photographs of her, prompting the mother to turn to her daughter for help.

“I’ll get him jumped by guys, and he won’t know what day it is,” Mahek allegedly messaged her mother on WhatsApp.

Mahek — who went by May B Vlogs on Tik Tok where she enjoyed about 230,000 followers — was seen in a video just a month before the fatal crash supposedly joking that she “killed someone.”

Mahek’s TikTok has since been taken down.

Jurors also heard the harrowing call Hussain made to police as he was being chased off the road.

“They’ve got balaclavas on. They’re trying to ram me off the road. They’re trying to kill me. I’m going to die,” Hussain told police. Hussain screams “Oh my God,” before his screams cut off abruptly at the sound of the crash.

Thompson argued that along with trying to save Ansreen’s reputation, the mother and daughter also acted to protect Mahek’s image.

“Mahek Bukhari was an influencer on social media and the revelation of that affair might even have caused damage to her standing,” Thompson told the court.

Along with the mother and daughter, Natasha Akhtar, 22, Raees Jamal, 22, Rekan Karwan, 28, Mohammed Patel, 20, Sanaf Gulammustafa, 22, and Ameer Jamal, 27, have all been charged in connection to the murders.  

 All eight defendants deny that they are responsible for the pair’s deaths.
