“I will not spare anyone, this district will never see peace,” he says slamming his hands on the dashboard of the vehicle. “More people will be killed in the district it won’t be peaceful, I will make sure you are in handcuffs. You treated me like a dacoit; I will not spare you there will be thousands of them on the street”.

While the officer on duty tries to calm him by saying to wait for the court’s decision, Alam can be seen angry and shouting back at them threatening dire consequences of their actions of arresting him and taking him away in public view.

Alam was brought to court as the main accused in the brick kiln murder case that led to the death of over 23 individuals and disappearances. The prosecutors had sought a term of 30 years imprisonment.
