VDM calls out AIG over innocent man

VDM argued that the AIG acted recklessly by placing the man on a wanted list without conducting a thorough investigation first. He stressed that the senior officer was taking far too long to issue the court-ordered apology, and used the occasion to raise broader concerns about how easily the police can ruin an innocent person's life.

According to VDM, officers have the power to fabricate cases against any individual, including planting substances or other incriminating items in people's vehicles or personal belongings to secure a wrongful conviction.

He identified a man named Hameed as the individual whose case prompted the protest, and framed the action as a rescue mission for someone who had no other advocate.
