A young scientist has seen her speeding conviction quashed after it was revealed that her mother was the actual driver of her luxury Porsche. Sadia Khanom, 28, had originally been ordered to pay £1,000 in fines and legal costs after failing to provide information when her Porsche Macan was caught speeding near her former university.

However, the case was reopened once it had been established that Khanom's mother F'Moni Ahmed, who runs a local Indian restaurant, had fielded the prosecution notice at their Chesire family home and 'forgot' to pass on the details. Prosecutors accepted this explanation after Khanom informed them she had also been away for work at the time of the offence.

It is unlikely that Khanom's mother will face any charges as a result due to the time elapsed since last March's incident. Khanom is a successful scientist who developed a 'revolutionary' disinfectant spray during the Covid-19 pandemic. This business saw her make and distribute an electrically powered spray to tackle harmful pathogens which protects surfaces for up to two weeks.

Hailed as one of the biggest scientific breakthroughs of the pandemic, it was reported in 2021 that following product trials with NASA and the NHS that Khanom received £10 million worth of orders.
