New details have emerged in the abduction and murder case of Mustafa Amir, a BBA student who went missing on January 6. His burnt body was found inside a car near the Hub checkpost on Friday night. Police confirmed that the body had been set on fire along with the vehicle. The case took a serious turn when the prime suspect, Armughan, opened fire on the Anti-Violent Crime Cell (AVCC) team during a raid at his residence in Karachi’s DHA.
Authorities revealed that Mustafa and Armughan were friends and had a heated argument on New Year’s night. Following the dispute, Armughan allegedly threatened to harm Mustafa and his female friend. On January 6, he called Mustafa and reportedly subjected him to violence. Police confirmed that the female friend left the country on January 12 and efforts were being made through Interpol to contact her as her statement was crucial for the investigation. After the body was found, murder charges were added to the case.
During a raid at Armughan’s house, police discovered blood stains, which were later matched with Mustafa’s mother’s DNA sample. Authorities also recovered Mustafa’s mobile phone and other evidence from the residence. The South deputy inspector general stated that this evidence was a turning point in the investigation. However, the investigation faced challenges as the Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) denied police remand for Armughan, making it difficult for the AVCC to proceed. The police have now approached the Sindh High Court, arguing that sending the suspect to jail before completing the investigation goes against the principles of justice.
Police confirmed that a second suspect, Shiraz, who worked for Armughan, was also involved in planning the murder and disposing of the body. The authorities are now seeking approval for exhuming Mustafa’s body to gather more evidence. Despite the obstacles in the investigation, police remain determined to bring justice to Mustafa Amir’s family.
