The special prosecutor handling the Mustafa Amir murder case has dispatched a letter to the Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of the Crime Investigation Agency (CIA), the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), and the investigating officer, requesting prosecutorial guidance and advocating for a more comprehensive investigation into the accused, Armaghan Qureshi.
As outlined in the letter, Special Prosecutor Zulfiqar Arain has recommended the inclusion of the accused’s parents, as well as the deceased’s mother, in the ongoing investigation.
He has also voiced concerns regarding the potential involvement of Armaghan and his associates in financing terrorist activities and their possible connections with anti-state elements. The letter urges sensitive agencies to conduct a thorough inquiry into these allegations.
Furthermore, the prosecutor has advised that Armaghan’s associates, along with the friends of the deceased Mustafa Amir, be questioned. He has pressed investigators to acquire detailed information about the accused’s and victim’s property holdings, business transactions, bank accounts, and travel records.
The letter also emphasizes the necessity of treating the weapons and other items recovered from Armaghan’s residence as crucial evidence and subjecting them to forensic analysis.
Additionally, it suggests seeking cooperation from DHA security personnel and local intelligence officials to gather supplementary evidence.
Moreover, the special prosecutor has underscored the significance of obtaining and forensically examining CCTV footage from Armaghan’s residence and the surrounding areas to advance the investigative efforts.
