Karachi: The mystery surrounding Mustafa Amir’s murder remains unsolved, with his mother strongly criticizing the police and demanding action against Investigation SSP South Ali Hassan for defaming her son.
In a video statement, she said, “SSP Ali Hassan never listened to me or understood that my son was missing. It was the police’s responsibility to find out where he was.”
She further accused the SSP of labeling her son as a criminal and demanded an explanation regarding his actions. She also called for his dismissal and legal action against him.
This statement followed the confirmation of her 23-year-old son’s death by the police. Mustafa, a BBA student, had gone missing on January 6, and a few days later, charred remains—believed to be his—were found in a burned car near the Hub checkpost.
Arrests and Investigation Updates
The prime suspect, Armughan, was arrested in Karachi’s DHA during a raid by the Anti-Violent Crime Cell (AVCC) after he opened fire at police officers. Another suspect, Shiraz Bukhari alias Shavez, was also arrested, allegedly involved in planning the murder and disposing of the body.
Faisal Edhi revealed that the Balochistan police had handed over a charred body to the Edhi Foundation on January 12, which remained in the Karachi morgue for four days before being buried in Mawachh Goth.
DNA reports confirmed that blood samples found at Armughan’s house matched Mustafa’s mother’s, further linking him to the alleged murder.
Legal Proceedings and Court Orders
The police have submitted a request to exhume the buried body for forensic examination. The court approved the request, directing Sindh’s Health Secretary to form a medical board and submit a report within seven days.
Meanwhile, the Sindh High Court (SHC) has ordered the police to present Armughan before the court on Tuesday at 9:30 am.
Armughan’s Alleged Criminal Network
Investigators suspect that Armughan was involved in a global drug racket and international fraud schemes.
He lived in a rented 1,000-yard bungalow in Karachi’s Khayaban-e-Momin area, where he operated a call center with 30 employees and around 40 security guards. Police recovered 64 laptops and discovered an office in the Teen Talwar area linked to his operations.
Sources revealed that Armughan had two CNICs—one under his real name and another under the alias “Saqib, son of Salman”—which he used to evade arrest in drug-related cases.
Further Investigations
The Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) has been tasked with examining weapons seized from Armughan’s house.
Meanwhile, reports suggest that a woman named Ramsha Shahid, allegedly involved in the case, left the country on January 12. However, police have dismissed such claims as rumors at this stage.
This case continues to unfold with new developments, and Mustafa’s family awaits justice as authorities dig deeper into Armughan’s suspected criminal activities.
