THE FAMILY of a Bradford businessman who died following a disturbance have praised members of the community and the police for their support.

Following Sarfraz Khan's funeral, his brother Kamran said family members were thankful for the support and good wishes of many people.

Kamran said: "All the family have been overwhelmed with the support and kind gestures we have received from everyone. My brother touched that many hearts, he was a one in a million and helped everyone he could."

He added: "I would like to thank the community and the police for all the support they have given us."

Kamran said his brother had been very generous with his money over the years, helping his friends and people who worked for him at Rossi's Ices, the ice cream van business he helped to run.

"He was such a generous hearted person. A lot of people who he lent money to have come forward."

On Tuesday, more than 1,000 mourners gathered at a Bradford mosque to pay their respects to Mr Khan, who was 35 when he died.

The father-of-four died after an altercation on Cecil Avenue, Bradford, on Thursday April 14.

Several men have been charged in connection with the incident.

Mohammed Ali Nassar, 31; Amir Ali, 19; Tariq Mahmood, 26; Sajid Hussain, 32; and 38-year-old Amjid Ali, all of Cecil Avenue, Great Horton, are charged with the murder of the father-of-four, and the attempted murder of Aftab Khan in the same incident.

Nassar is also charged with wounding Mohammed Idris Khan with intent.
