Ilyas was assisted by Aman Khan, 33, in blackmailing one victim, a man from Manchester, and by both Khan and Khalil Chaudry, 29, in a separate plot involving a second victim, a man from Burnley. One victim was 'effectively held hostage' in a bedroom while being recorded, before being driven round in a car for about three hours while threats were made that they would visit his home and tell his wife and children, LancsLive has reported.
