Pakistani-born Ahmed, 73, was living at a hostel in Accrington, Lancashire, but he was forced to leave when furious locals discovered who was living in their midst after his address was revealed online

Sex offender Shabir Ahmed, a Pakistani national, was stripped of his UK citizenship but a 1971 immigration law prevents his deportation.
