Aneesha Khan, 25, faced up to two years in jail following the incident last AugustA former criminology student who tried to frame her own sister after she was caught drug-driving at 100mph motorway has been spared jail after her sibling wrote to a judge saying she had forgiven her.
When quizzed Khan, of Belle Isle, Leeds, West Yorkshire cited escaping an abusive marriage and claimed friends had 'pressured' her to drive the Seat and give her sister's details in the event she was stopped, as Naila was insured to drive it. But she was sentenced to 12 months in jail, suspended for 18 months after Naila wrote a glowing character reference saying her sister was 'selfless' and that the whole family was standing by her.
Prosecutor Peter Hussey, said than Khan was 'travelling at something approaching 100mph on what was a maximum speed limit of 70mph' when an officer flagged the car down at Tabley services.He added: 'When he spoke to her she was asked her details and she gave the name of Naila Khan, her address in Leeds and a mobile phone number.
Defence counsel Gareth Roberts said: 'For a young woman who has rarely been in trouble in her life, the reality that she could go to prison today has been a massive and profound lesson to her. She comes from a close community and essentially a law-abiding family.' In the letter to the judge, Naila said that sister Aneesha began smoking cannabis to help her cope with her diagnosed PTSD, following an abusive marraige, as a means of self-medicating.
