Kasim and Sahail Ahmed hatched a plan to set fire to their Gallowgate shop during lockdown.
The moment a Glasgow shopkeeper filled up a petrol can to torch his family business in a failed insurance scam has been caught on camera.
The bomb squad even had to be called out to check the shop over fears of explosives which turned out to be fireworks. The 34-year-old is facing jail alongside his brother Sahail, 38, for setting the fire on May 16, 2020 – a crime branded “idiotic” by prosecutors. The duo were found guilty of a charge of being part of a fraudulent scheme after a trial at the High Court in Glasgow.Their father was said to have run the shop. When he left for Pakistan in 2020, the court heard Kasim took over, with Sahail described as the owner.But Sahail, of Nitshill, told the trial: “There was a national lockdown so the shop should not have been trading. Things were quite tough and he [Kasim] had to give my mum money.
