Foster family battle to keep Bangladeshi man in Norfolk

A young Bangladeshi man, who was found on the streets of Norwich, is fighting deportation from the country he now calls home.

Jakir Ahmed who is 21, was discovered on Prince of Wales Road when he was just 14.

It’s thought he’d been trafficked into the country and kept as a domestic slave.

He and his foster parents are now battling to allow him to remain here permanently.

‘I work so hard to get where I am now and my plan in the future is to go up more higher. If I go back to Bangladesh, where would I go, what would I do, there is nothing there. So I will have to go all the way back down to step up the ladders’ said Jakir Ahmend.

Jakir needs £4000 to fund his legal fees to fight the deportation.
