Woman jailed for death threats to Bradford MP Naz Shah

Sundas Alam’s threats led to Shah’s children fleeing home and innocent family being arrested at gunpoint

A woman whose death threats led to an MP’s children fleeing their home in the middle of the night, and an innocent family being arrested at gunpoint, has been jailed for three and a half years.

Bradford West MP Naz Shah has described how she rang 999 about “an immediate firearms threat” in a disguised email sent by Sundas Alam in April last year that threatened her with a “bullet in her head”.
