Police claimed the 34 year-old used ‘Bossman’ as a code name for teenagers wanting to purchase cigarettes and booze

Sergeant Rachel Smith told a panel of councillors: “It’s only a matter of time before someone comes to serious harm.One local resident, who gave evidence anonymously from behind a screen, said his daughter’s bank statements showed she’d bought alcohol from Pudsey Local.Mr Ahmed denied the claims, saying they were fuelled by racism and jealousy.He told the hearing: “We’ve never done anything wrong. People have put false allegations against me.

“All our community and our customers are happy with us. There’s a few odd people who are jealous of us and aren’t happy to see someone earning a livelihood.”Welcoming the ruling on his Facebook page, Councillor Seary said: “Thank you to the police, Leeds City Council and residents who made statements to the licensing committee.

“There is now a legal process to follow and in due course the license will be revoked from the premises.”
