Lawyer and aide of slain mafia-politician Atiq Ahmed, Khan Saulat Hanif, is concerned for his safety and feels threatened by Atiq's gang members. Saulat's kin have approached the police for protection, suspecting the involvement of Atiq's sons and gang members. Saulat's plea indicates that he still has vital information about Atiq's gang, which could be problematic for them. There has been a rift in Atiq's gang since his death, with members filing FIRs against each other. Saulat and Atiq were sentenced to life imprisonment for the Umesh Pal abduction case.
