KARACHI, Apr 22: Investigators found a major lead in the Mustafa Amir kidnapping and murder case, where the main suspect, Armughan Qureshi, bought weapons from an illicit arms supplier in Peshawar, Inspector Muhammad Ali, the investigation officer, shared.
Inspector Ali introduced this disclosure at the court proceedings, where he recounted a statement by Kamran Qureshi, Armughan’s father. The authorities documented Kamran’s statement inside prison upon receipt of a court order. He acknowledged that his son had received the weapons from someone named Farhatullah residing in Peshawar.
In an exclusive interview, Inspector Ali confirmed that police had proclaimed Farhatullah a fugitive in the interim challan. Law enforcement officials have already initiated efforts to arrest and trace the arms dealer.

Inspector Ali also informed that he will submit the forensic report and case property next week. In the meantime, he will file the interim challan against co-accused Shiraz and Kamran Qureshi in the special court later this week.
He emphasised that the CCTV footage shows clearly that Armughan has fired at the police officials while conducting the raid, making the case of the prosecution stronger.
The authorities will shortly shift the murder case of Mustafa Amir from Hub, Balochistan, to Karachi to facilitate the trial and investigation process.
The investigation team has collected ample evidence against Armughan, Shiraz, and Kamran Qureshi in several cases of kidnapping, murder, and assault on police. Inspector Ali confirmed that the police will initiate full legal proceedings against the accused to serve justice.
In a parallel development, Judicial Magistrate South’s court, Shahzad Khawaja, conducted a hearing at Karachi Central Jail on Kamran Qureshi on illegal arms and drug charges. The jail administration, however, did not present Kamran in court.
The probe is ongoing at full pace as law enforcers step up efforts to bring all culprits to book.
