Families’ lives changed that fateful day, Alam’s was one of them.

Patna (CNA Media/Insaaf Times) Nearly every day for the past two years, Bushra Alam, 30, has impatiently awaited a 5-minute call from her husband Mohammad Alam, 31. Alam is being held in the Lucknow district jail in connection with the Hathras conspiracy case, is only able to speak briefly on the phone and provide a few updates.”He has nothing to conceal,” according to him. Alam makes between Rs 200 and Rs 500 each day driving cabs. Alam has been a driver in Delhi for ten to twelve years. He doesn’t have a second employment, a side business, or any other secret bank accounts.On the day or arrest, October 5, 2020. Many families’ lives changed, and Alam’s was one of them. He started his work and finished two rides by the time he told Bushra about it.The following day, Alam called her in the afternoon to let her know that he, Kappan, and other people had been detained by the police at the Mathura toll booth and that they were being questioned extensively. Soon after, they were arrested on UAPA charges and transferred to the Mant police station where they were informed that they would be released the following day.A partner’s tears and a mother’s silence. Alam and Bushra wed on March 11, 2019. They struggled after the lockdown and had a difficult time, but as soon as he began to make money again, he was imprisoned.Even though he frequently advised them during their brief phone talks to “don’t worry too much, wait and work patiently,” Bushra found it difficult to maintain her composure. She began embroidering at home, but she was unable to make much from it. She used the little money she did have to travel back and forth from Rampur to Lucknow, Delhi, or Lucknow and to buy him food.Bushra recalls every encounter she had with him while she was incarcerated and eagerly awaits the day she can begin living the life she had pictured with Alam. Despite being innocent, Bushra mourned, “He has spent more time in jail than he has with me.”
