‘You can’t imagine how stressful it was’
From the age of three, Irfan Ali knew that he wanted to be a doctor. Years later his dream of working in medicine became a reality, but his happiness was interrupted when his father, a lawyer, was killed as he drove away from court.
After his father’s death, the gang involved targeted Ali and his family. “They threatened to kidnap my son,” he says. “They threatened us because I was trying to help the police with the case of my father’s murder. We had to go.”
