Karachi police have made a major breakthrough in the Mustafa Amir murder case by suspending SHO and Investigation Officer Derakhshan for conducting a poor investigation and failing to file the case on time.
Meanwhile, the Sindh High Court (SHC) has accepted police requests regarding the case. Authorities have approached the court for the remand of the accused, Armaghan, and have also challenged the FIR orders against the raiding team.
The court has scheduled the hearing for February 17, where a two-member bench will review the petitions.
Sindh Prosecutor General Muntazir Mehdi emphasized the seriousness of the case, stating that sending the suspect to jail before the investigation even began was against the principles of justice. The prosecution has filed four petitions, all of which will be heard on Monday.
In a crucial development, forensic results have confirmed that the DNA of the deceased matches his mother’s. Police had collected blood samples from the carpet at Armaghan’s residence, and initial reports have verified that the blood belongs to Mustafa Amir.
During interrogation, the suspect Shiraz reportedly admitted that the victim was tortured for three hours. Further forensic analysis of blood, hair, and other evidence is expected in the coming days.
Additionally, a copy of the FIR filed by Hub police has surfaced. The report states that on the evening of January 11, authorities received information about a burning vehicle. Upon arrival, they discovered a charred body inside. The case was registered at the Hub Dureji police station under government supervision.
The investigation is ongoing, with more updates expected soon.
