Former Director General of Punjab Police Mohammad Izhar Alam passed away due to cardiac arrest on Tuesday morning. He did a remarkable job and played an important role to counter terrorism in Punjab,” Virk told over phone. On allegations of raising “Alam Sena”, Virk said, “All this is exaggeration. Virk told that Alam succeeded him as Jalandhar SSP in 1985 and as Amritsar SSP in 1986. He created Alam Sena, a team of renegades who committed heinous crimes to give a bad name to the movement at that time.”
