Zayn Malik’s sister’s wedding to ex-convict was ‘broken up by police’ as 40-guest bash flouts lockdown rules
ZAYN Malik’s sister’s wedding to ex-convict Junaid Khan was “broken up by police”, according to reports.
Yesterday, The Sun revealed that 27-year-old Zayn had missed 22-year-old Waliyha’s big day – which she went ahead with despite family protests.

The do took place at Zayn’s sister Saffa’s Bradford home, with the city currently in Tier 3 – only allowing wedding ceremonies with up to 15 people, and receptions banned entirely.

“A group of people were fined inside the address and fixed penalty notices were issued as a breach of coronavirus restrictions had been committed.”

A source told us: “No one is happy about her marrying him after what he did.
“He’s a thug. This isn’t in his past — he’s only just got out of prison.”
Khan and Adam Takolia, 20, followed the victim in a Seat Leon Cupra to her home in Skipton.
