Mohammed Aamer Imtiaz (aged 36) was arrested on January 19, 2022, for engaging in a course of controlling and coercive behaviour, which he inflicted on his ex-partner and her family.
Evidence was found where Imtiaz threatened to disfigure his ex-partner with acid.
Imtiaz had been tracking his victim’s movements, sending malicious messages, and threatening to have his ex-partner raped.
A strict relationship contract had been constructed, where Imtiaz directed his ex as to what she could wear, where she could go and who she could meet.
Over the course of 2021, Imtiaz sought to intimidate his ex-partner’s family, isolating her from her friends and threatened to steal her grandfather’s ashes.
Ultimately, this amounted to a targeted campaign of abusive, violent and threatening conduct that left the victim and her family in fear of their lives.
Imtiaz’s victim said: “Mohammed has made me feel so paranoid and I cannot rest easily because of what he has done to me and my family.
“I have moved address because of him and what he has done.
"I still feel as though my car has a tracker in it and that he is waiting to get out and see where I am again.
“Every time I get in from work, I am petrified that he is waiting in the bushes, I always make sure to always lock the door, and that’s my thoughts even now.”
Yesterday (Thursday), at Bolton Crown Court, Imtiaz was sentenced to serve a three-year custodial sentence for controlling and coercive behaviour.
The victim and her immediate family have all been granted indefinite restraining orders, to protect them from Imtiaz.
