The pair lured Saqib to a meeting to offer £3,000 - the amount he complained he had spent on Ansreen while they were romantically involved.
However, Saqib, arriving with his friend Hashim Ijazuddin, quickly sensed something was wrong and left the scene.
According to phone records, Saqib and Mahek spoke over the phone, in a conversation which detectives said "got quite heated".
Just one minute after this call, Saqib called 999.
He said: "They hit into the back of the car very fast. They're trying to ram us off the road.
"Please, I’m begging you, I think I’m going to die, I think I’m going to die."
His Skoda was then chased by two cars containing eight people — including the Bukharis.
Saqib was found dead in a burning car, along with his friend Mohammed after their car was rammed off the A46 in a 100mph chase in Leicestershire.
Their bodies were so badly burnt that their families could not identify them.
