In Karachi’s City Court, a case involving the operation of an illegal call center was heard before the Judicial Magistrate South. The accused, Armaghan, was presented by the FIA, where investigating officer Amir Ali Khoso sought further physical remand for the suspect.

During the proceedings, the officer reported that Armaghan had disclosed information about more than five accomplices during the investigation.

He also mentioned that digital ID addresses and details related to the accused’s personal accounts had been obtained. The officer maintained that further physical remand was crucial for the ongoing investigation.

When the court questioned the necessity of the remand, the investigating officer reiterated his earlier points. However, the court denied the request and ordered Armaghan to be sent to jail.

At one point, the Judicial Magistrate directly confronted the accused, asking, “You used to talk a lot before; what happened today?” Armaghan replied coldly, “Do what you have to do.”

The court also inquired whether the FIA had subjected him to any violence, but the accused remained silent despite multiple questions. Lawyer Shazia Taqeer raised an objection, stating that this constituted contempt of court and emphasized the obligation to answer the court’s questions.

The Judicial Magistrate remarked, “You do not know this accused; there is a bundle of cases against him. It is contempt of court for a judge to ask a question and the accused to remain silent.”

After considering the arguments, the court rejected the request for physical remand and ordered the accused to be transferred to jail, adjourning the hearing until the next date.

What do we know so far about the Mustafa murder case?

The Mustafa murder case is one of the top stories on news channels nowadays. It is a case of the kidnapping and killing of a 23-year-old Karachi resident.

One has to be careful while reporting such news as the choice of words, style of presentation, and thumbnails on YouTube videos often build opinions even before the court announces its judgement in the case. So, in this case, it is of great importance to gather all the available information with background and listen to all versions of the story to report it.

The following text is sourced from the police investigation and interrogation reports, court decisions, and people related to the Mustafa murder case.

Mustafa Amir, a DHA resident, was allegedly abducted on January 6, but the case made headlines when the Sindh policemen addressed a press conference next month. Six days later, the Balochistan Police recovered a charred body in a torched car and handed it over to the Edhi Foundation.

In a media talk on February 14, police claimed that his friends killed the kidnapped youth. They allegedly stuffed the body in the trunk of his car and torched it in Balochistan’s Dureji area. Police also claimed to have arrested the prime suspect’s friend, Sheraz aka Shavez Bukhari. It was Sheraz who disclosed the information during the investigation.

The prime suspect, Armaghan was arrested during a raid of a bungalow in DHA following a ransom call to the family. Suspects allegedly demanded Rs20 million from the victim’s family. Sources within the police say the gun battle with the suspect continued for four hours.

They took laptops from the house, and blood samples were found on a carpet in a room. As the case unfolded, investigators claimed that the conflict between the two started because of a woman. The victim’s mother also [accused the same girl of killing her son in a video statement][4]. She claimed that the woman fled to the United States after the incident.

On February 15, an anti-terrorism court in Karachi sent [Shiraz to police custody][5] on physical remand till February 21. Police failed to get physical remand of the prime suspect, drawing officials’ ire. A legal expert clarified that the criticism against the court for not granting a physical remand was not appropriate as the police did not seek a physical remand in the first information report related to the case.

He [told Aaj News’ programme Dus][6] that the case would come under the jurisdiction of the ATC after the addition of Section 7 of the Anti-Terrorism Act (punishment for acts of terrorism) to the FIR.

On the same day, three police officers were [suspended from their duty][7] for their apparent negligence in the case.

The prime suspect was a [“habitual offender,” police records showed][8]. Complaints against him alleged that he was involved in extortion, kidnapping, drug dealing, and illegal possession of weapons.

When an Aaj News correspondent [visited the suspect’s house][9], he saw that there was a high-tech facility in the house which was apparently used as a “software house.” Moreover, Kamran Qureshi, the suspect’s father, [defended his son’s gun battle with the police][10] and denied accusations. He accused the victim of selling drugs to his son and [blamed a “police officer” for the “entire conspiracy.”][11]

On February 17, a judicial magistrate [approved][12] a request for the exhumation of Mustafa’s body. Later, a three-member medical panel was formed by the judicial magistrate (West).

The next day, an ATC in Karachi [sent the prime suspect to police custody on a four-day remand][13] and sought a medical report.

An interrogation report claimed that the victim and the prime suspect were [childhood friends.][14] It was a reiteration of the account Shiraz had told police about the incident.

On February 20, Armaghan allegedly confessed to killing the victim as the chilling details of the report claimed that he offered the victim a “chance to escape before setting him on fire.” The charred vehicle in which Mustafa was allegedly burnt to death was present in Balochistan’s Durerji, [Aaj News saw][15].

When Qureshi [appeared on Imran Sultan’s show Dus,][16] he claimed to have substantial evidence and advised to close the case or else “big names” would come to the limelight.

“I want to be the chief investigation officer of my child. I have plenty of evidence. I am a law graduate and hold a firearm licence,” he said while appearing on the show on February 21, 2025.

On February 22, an ATC [extended the physical remand of suspects Armaghan and Sheraz by five days.][17] The investigating officer claimed that two blood samples from the suspect’s house were [collected and one of the blood samples][18] was linked to a girl identified as ***a. He also informed the court about the money laundering allegations against the suspect

Furthermore, four persons, including a TV actor’s son, were arrested on Saturday. One of the suspects [claimed to have sold drugs to Mustafa][19], according to sources within police.

Sources within the police said [initial DNA testing of the samples][20] taken from the body “confirmed that the person burned alive in Balochistan’s Dureji was indeed Mustafa Amir.”

Shiraz, was [presented][21] before the court to record his confessional statement under Section 164 on March 2 and investigators have also [uncovered][19] that the accused is linked to 11 other criminal cases.

The suspect, Shiraz, [told the court on March 3][21] that he was being pressured to confess. “I was told that if I confessed, my sentence would be reduced,” he claimed.

Late, an ATC in Karachi [extended the physical remand][20] of the prime suspect by six days and sent another suspect, Shiraz, to jail on judicial remand.

But reports said that Armaghan was receiving [“special treatment” in police custody][22]. A purported leaked audio recording allegedly features Asif Jamil Qureshi, the establishment in charge of the DIG CIA, had surfaced.

A National Assembly Standing Committee’s subcommittee also [directed][23] law enforcement agencies to compile a report on the case, detailing key investigative findings and a strategic course of action for the next session.

Moreover, SSP Investigation Shoaib Memon told Samaa TV that one of the suspects in the Mustafa murder case, Sahir Hasan, [had taken drugs since the age of eight][24].

The prime suspect [allegedly owned][25] two additional companies and a call centre.

The constitutional bench of the Sindh High Court granted bail to actor Sajid Hassan’s son, Sahir, in a drug possession case on Thursday.

The court heard the bail application of Sahir, who has been in custody for over two months.

During the hearing, Acting Prosecutor General Muntazir Mehdi, along with other relevant officials, appeared in court.

Sahir’s lawyer argued that the accused had been in jail for more than two months and had not yet been granted bail. After considering the arguments from both sides

The court approved Sahir’s bail application, ordering his release upon the submission of a surety bond of Rs10 lakh.

Cyber Crime authorities request legal remand of Armaghan

The former Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) judge Syed Zakir Hussain has filed an appeal with the Supreme Court Karachi Registry in the Mustafa Amir murder case.

This move follows the revocation of his powers for not granting physical remand for the accused, Armaghan.

The Supreme Court has accepted the petition for hearing and scheduled it for a three-member bench in the upcoming session.

Notices have been issued to the Prosecutor General of Sindh, the Advocate General, and the complainant, as part of the appeal process.

The petition argued that a two-member bench of the Sindh High Court, in its decision on February 18 regarding the prosecution’s requests, recommended transferring the administrative powers of the judge to another court.

The appeal criticised the harsh remarks made by the Sindh High Court, stating that the ATC judge was not given the opportunity to respond or defend himself, which it claims violates Article 10-A of the Constitution.

The petitioner sought to have these remarks dismissed to clear any negative impact on his long judicial career.

Notably, following the arrest of the main accused, Armaghan, in a police encounter, Judge Zaker Hussain had opted for a judicial remand instead of a physical remand during the first hearing.

Subsequently, the Sindh High Court overturned the ATC’s decision and approved all remand requests, with Justice Zafar Ahmed Rajput remarking on the procedural inconsistencies in the order.

Article 10-A of the Constitution of Pakistan, inserted in 2010, guarantees the right to a fair trial and due process for the determination of civil rights and obligations, or in any criminal charge against a person.

When Qureshi [appeared on Imran Sultan’s show Dus,][17] he claimed to have substantial evidence and advised to close the case or else “big names” would come to the limelight.

“I want to be the chief investigation officer of my child. I have plenty of evidence. I am a law graduate and hold a firearm licence,” he said while appearing on the show on February 21, 2025.

During proceedings at Central Jail Karachi, the FIA requested the court to grant custody of Armaghan, stating that he was also booked under money laundering charges and required for further investigation.

However, the court ruled that since the suspect’s case was already being heard in another court, the FIA must file its request there.

Subsequently, FIA officials approached the relevant court, which clarified that the authority to grant remand rested with the administrative judge.

Meanwhile, the ATC proceeded with hearings on cases related to armed confrontation, attempted murder, and illegal weapons possession.

The court inquired whether the investigating officer required physical remand, to which the officer declined and requested that the suspect be sent to jail custody instead.

Following this, the ATC judge directed the investigating officer to submit the final charge sheet in the case.

What do we know so far about the Mustafa murder case?

The Mustafa murder case is one of the top stories on news channels nowadays. It is a case of the kidnapping and killing of a 23-year-old Karachi resident.

One has to be careful while reporting such news as the choice of words, style of presentation, and thumbnails on YouTube videos often build opinions even before the court announces its judgement in the case.

So, in this case, it is of great importance to gather all the available information with background and listen to all versions of the story to report it.

The following text is sourced from the police investigation and interrogation reports, court decisions, and people related to the Mustafa murder case.

Mustafa Amir, a DHA resident, was allegedly abducted on January 6, but the case made headlines when the Sindh policemen addressed a press conference next month. Six days later, the Balochistan Police recovered a charred body in a torched car and handed over it to the Edhi Foundation.

In a media talk on February 14, police claimed that his friends killed the kidnapped youth. They allegedly stuffed the body in the trunk of his car and torched it in Balochistan’s Dureji area.

Police also claimed to have arrested the prime suspect’s friend, Sheraz aka Shavez Bukhari. It was Sheraz who disclosed the information during the investigation.

The prime suspect Armaghan was arrested during a raid bungalow in DHA following a ransom call to the family. Suspects allegedly demanded Rs20 million from the victim’s family. Sources within the police say the gun battle with the suspect continued for four hours.

On February 15, an anti-terrorism court in Karachi sent Shiraz to police custody on physical remand till February 21.

When Qureshi appeared on Imran Sultan’s show Dus, he claimed to have substantial evidence and advised to close the case or else “big names” would come to the limelight.

One has to be careful while reporting such news as the choice of words, style of presentation, and thumbnails on YouTube videos often build opinions even before the court announces its judgement in the case. So, in this case, it is of great importance to gather all the available information with background and listen to all versions of the story to report it.

The following text is sourced from the police investigation and interrogation reports, court decisions, and people related to the Mustafa murder case.

Mustafa Amir, a DHA resident, was allegedly abducted on January 6, but the case made headlines when the Sindh policemen addressed a press conference next month. Six days later, the Balochistan Police recovered a charred body in a torched car and handed over it to the Edhi Foundation.

In a media talk on February 14, police claimed that his friends killed the kidnapped youth. They allegedly stuffed the body in the trunk of his car and torched it in Balochistan’s Dureji area. Police also claimed to have arrested the prime suspect’s friend, Sheraz aka Shavez Bukhari. It was Sheraz who disclosed the information during the investigation.

The prime suspect Armaghan was arrested during a raid bungalow in DHA following a ransom call to the family. Suspects allegedly demanded Rs20 million from the victim’s family. Sources within the police say the gun battle with the suspect continued for four hours.

They took laptops from the house and blood samples were found on a carpet in a room. As the case unfolded, investigators claimed that the conflict between the two started because of a woman. The victim’s mother also accused the same girl of killing her son in a video statement. She claimed that the woman fled to the United States after the incident.

On February 15, an anti-terrorism court in Karachi sent Shiraz to police custody on physical remand till February 21. Police failed to get physical remand of the prime suspect, drawing officials’ ire. A legal expert clarified that the criticism against the court for not granting a physical remand was not appropriate as the police did not seek a physical remand in the first information report related to the case.

He told Aaj News’ programme Dus that the case would come under the jurisdiction of the ATC after the addition of Section 7 of the Anti-Terrorism Act (punishment for acts of terrorism) to the FIR.

On February 17, a judicial magistrate approved a request for the exhumation of Mustafa’s body. Later, a three-member medical panel was formed by the judicial magistrate (West).

The next day, an ATC in Karachi sent the prime suspect to police custody on a four-day remand and sought a medical report.

An interrogation report claimed that the victim and the prime suspect were childhood friends. It was a reiteration of the account Shiraz told to police about the incident.

On February 20, Armaghan allegedly confessed to killing the victim as the chilling details of the report claimed that he offered the victim a “chance to escape before setting him on fire.” The charred vehicle in which Mustafa was allegedly burnt to death was present in Balochistan’s Durerji, Aaj News saw.

When Qureshi appeared on Imran Sultan’s show Dus, he claimed to have substantial evidence and advised to close the case or else “big names” would come to the limelight.

“I want to be the chief investigation officer of my child. I have plenty of evidence. I am a law graduate and hold a firearm licence,” he said while appearing on the show on February 21, 2025.

On February 22, an ATC extended the physical remand of suspects Armaghan and Sheraz by five days. The investigating officer claimed that two blood samples from the suspect’s house were collected and one of the blood samples was linked to a girl identified as ***a. He also informed the court about the money laundering allegations against the suspect

Furthermore, four persons, including a TV actor’s son, were arrested on Saturday. One of the suspects claimed to have sold drugs to Mustafa, according to sources within police.

Video footage of Qureshi acquiring weapons, along with incriminating data from his mobile phone, has been obtained as the investigation broadens. Simultaneously, Aaj News has secured a video confession from Sahir Hassan, arrested for selling weed in Karachi.

Hassan claimed he procured the drug from a friend named Yahya in Islamabad, denying any friendship with Armaghan and asserting he only knew Mustafa Amir.

He also disclosed that he had met Armaghan in 2017 and had learned Armaghan had been selling drugs since 2016.

Hassan’s first encounter with Mustafa was arranged in 2022 through mutual friend Moazzam Patel, where they shared weed sourced from California.

Armaghan loses trust in his father

The ATC in Karachi has extended Armaghan’s physical remand by six more days.

However, during the proceedings, Armaghan expressed distrust in his father, refusing both a meeting and the lawyer appointed by him.

Upon the defence lawyer’s request, the court allowed the suspect’s parents to enter the courtroom, guaranteeing they would not cause any disturbance.

However, during the hearing, Armaghan’s father began creating a commotion, prompting police officers to escort him out of the courtroom.

Armaghan’s remand in journalist attack case extended

Armaghan was presented before theATC after the completion of his previous physical remand in the Mustafa Amir murder case. The court also extended his remand in a separate case involving an attack on a journalist, setting March 24 as the next hearing date.

The judge expelled Kamran Qureshi (Armaghan’s father) from the courtroom after he disrupted the proceedings.

Courtroom chaos as Armaghan’s father protests

Despite the defence lawyer’s assurances, Armaghan’s father disrupted the hearing. After his outburst, police officers forcefully removed him from the courtroom.

Additionally, Armaghan refused to accept the new lawyer hired by his father and declined a meeting with him, stating: “I do not want this lawyer. I have nothing to do with my father.”

The ATC has now requested a progress report for the next hearing.

Journalists barred from ATC complex

Authorities banned journalists from entering the ATC complex, citing orders from senior officials.

Earlier, even Armaghan’s father was denied entry, prompting him to submit a written request to the court, seeking permission to meet his son.

In his application, he argued that a meeting was essential to discuss changing legal representation. He also claimed that denying the meeting was a violation of basic human rights, stressing that fair trial rights require access to his son.

During the ATC hearing, defence lawyer Tahir Tanoli stated that Armaghan is now ready to confess to the crime.

“The suspect has been under immense pressure, which has led him to the point where he is willing to confess.”

What do we know so far about the Mustafa murder case?

The Mustafa murder case is one of the top stories on news channels nowadays. It is a case of the kidnapping and killing of a 23-year-old Karachi resident.

One has to be careful while reporting such news as the choice of words, style of presentation, and thumbnails on YouTube videos often build opinions even before the court announces its judgement in the case. So, in this case, it is of great importance to gather all the available information with background and listen to all versions of the story to report it.

The following text is sourced from the police investigation and interrogation reports, court decisions, and people related to the Mustafa murder case.

Mustafa Amir, a DHA resident, was allegedly abducted on January 6, but the case made headlines when the Sindh policemen addressed a press conference next month. Six days later, the Balochistan Police recovered a charred body in a torched car and handed it over to the Edhi Foundation.

In a media talk on February 14, police claimed that his friends killed the kidnapped youth. They allegedly stuffed the body in the trunk of his car and torched it in Balochistan’s Dureji area. Police also claimed to have arrested the prime suspect’s friend, Sheraz aka Shavez Bukhari. It was Sheraz who disclosed the information during the investigation.

The prime suspect, Armaghan was arrested during a raid of a bungalow in DHA following a ransom call to the family. Suspects allegedly demanded Rs20 million from the victim’s family. Sources within the police say the gun battle with the suspect continued for four hours.

They took laptops from the house, and blood samples were found on a carpet in a room. As the case unfolded, investigators claimed that the conflict between the two started because of a woman. The victim’s mother also accused the same girl of killing her son in a video statement. She claimed that the woman fled to the United States after the incident.

On February 15, an anti-terrorism court in Karachi sent Shiraz to police custody on physical remand till February 21. Police failed to get physical remand of the prime suspect, drawing officials’ ire. A legal expert clarified that the criticism against the court for not granting a physical remand was not appropriate as the police did not seek a physical remand in the first information report related to the case.

He told Aaj News’ programme Dus that the case would come under the jurisdiction of the ATC after the addition of Section 7 of the Anti-Terrorism Act (punishment for acts of terrorism) to the FIR.

On the same day, three police officers were suspended from their duty for their apparent negligence in the case.

The prime suspect was a “habitual offender,” police records showed. Complaints against him alleged that he was involved in extortion, kidnapping, drug dealing, and illegal possession of weapons.

When an Aaj News correspondent visited the suspect’s house, he saw that there was a high-tech facility in the house which was apparently used as a “software house.” Moreover, Kamran Qureshi, the suspect’s father, defended his son’s gun battle with the police and denied accusations. He accused the victim of selling drugs to his son and blamed a “police officer” for the “entire conspiracy.”

On February 17, a judicial magistrate approved a request for the exhumation of Mustafa’s body. Later, a three-member medical panel was formed by the judicial magistrate (West).

The next day, an ATC in Karachi sent the prime suspect to police custody on a four-day remand and sought a medical report.

An interrogation report claimed that the victim and the prime suspect were childhood friends. It was a reiteration of the account Shiraz had told police about the incident.

On February 20, Armaghan allegedly confessed to killing the victim as the chilling details of the report claimed that he offered the victim a “chance to escape before setting him on fire.” The charred vehicle in which Mustafa was allegedly burnt to death was present in Balochistan’s Durerji, Aaj News saw.

When Qureshi appeared on Imran Sultan’s show Dus, he claimed to have substantial evidence and advised to close the case or else “big names” would come to the limelight.

“I want to be the chief investigation officer of my child. I have plenty of evidence. I am a law graduate and hold a firearm licence,” he said while appearing on the show on February 21, 2025.

On February 22, an ATC extended the physical remand of suspects Armaghan and Sheraz by five days. The investigating officer claimed that two blood samples from the suspect’s house were collected and one of the blood samples was linked to a girl identified as ***a. He also informed the court about the money laundering allegations against the suspect

Furthermore, four persons, including a TV actor’s son, were arrested on Saturday. One of the suspects claimed to have sold drugs to Mustafa, according to sources within police.

Sources within the police said initial DNA testing of the samples taken from the body “confirmed that the person burned alive in Balochistan’s Dureji was indeed Mustafa Amir.”

Shiraz, was presented before the court to record his confessional statement under Section 164 on March 2 and investigators have also uncovered that the accused is linked to 11 other criminal cases.

The suspect, Shiraz, told the court on March 3 that he was being pressured to confess. “I was told that if I confessed, my sentence would be reduced,” he claimed.

Late, an ATC in Karachi extended the physical remand of the prime suspect by six days and sent another suspect, Shiraz, to jail on judicial remand.

But reports said that Armaghan was receiving “special treatment” in police custody. A purported leaked audio recording allegedly features Asif Jamil Qureshi, the establishment in charge of the DIG CIA, had surfaced.

A National Assembly Standing Committee’s subcommittee also directed law enforcement agencies to compile a report on the case, detailing key investigative findings and a strategic course of action for the next session.

Moreover, SSP Investigation Shoaib Memon told Samaa TV that one of the suspects in the Mustafa murder case, Sahir Hasan, had taken drugs since the age of eight.

The prime suspect allegedly owned two additional companies and a call centre.

March 11; An anti-terrorism court in Karachi has extended the remand of Armaghan, the prime suspect in the Mustafa murder case, by seven days. The police requested the extension of the accused’s remand. Journalists encountered restrictions as police barred entry to the court, citing a lack of administrative permission.

During the hearing, the court inquired about Armaghan’s status, and the investigating officer confirmed his presence. The officer also provided an update on the investigation, reporting the recovery of the weapon used in the crime and the DVR. Defence attorney Abid Zaman challenged this claim, arguing that both items—a stick and the DVR—had already been publicly disclosed in the media.

March 12; In a significant update on the Mustafa Amir murder case, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Cyber Crime Wing has completed an initial report after interrogating the prime suspect, Armaghan. The report reveals that Armaghan admitted to his involvement in fraudulent activities at a call center and in cryptocurrency dealings. The FIA has submitted its findings to the Cyber Crime Headquarters for further action.

The investigation into drug trafficking related to the Mustafa Amir murder case will undergo another review. The National Assembly’s Standing Committee on Interior has scheduled a subcommittee meeting for March 17 in Islamabad, where Sindh’s Inspector General of Police (IGP) and other senior officials are expected to provide updates. The IGP will inform the committee about the latest developments in the case.

March 13; In a significant turn of events, Armaghan has confessed to threatening the lawyer representing cases against him. The police submitted an interim charge sheet in court detailing his admission of guilt.

The report stated that advocate Saif Jatoi was representing the complainant in cases against Armaghan, which were registered at Gizri and Darakhshan police stations.

March 18; In a significant development in the Mustafa Amir abduction and murder case in Karachi’s Defence area, the prime suspect, Armaghan, has recorded a confessional statement. This confession has been verified in the police remand report, marking a critical step in the ongoing investigation.

A significant breakthrough has emerged in the Mustafa Amir abduction and murder case in Karachi’s Defence area. The prime suspect, Armaghan, has recorded his confessional statement, which has been confirmed in the police remand report.

According to the remand report submitted to the Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC), the accused’s recovered laptop and mobile phone have been sent to Punjab Forensic Lab for examination. The report also confirms that Armaghan confessed to the crime before SSP AVCC (Anti-Violent Crime Cell).

In his confession, Armaghan revealed that after murdering Mustafa Amir, he informed his father, Kamran Qureshi.

The police plan to interrogate Kamran Qureshi based on Armaghan’s statement. Since the investigation remains incomplete, authorities have requested an extension of the suspect’s physical remand until March 24.

Armaghan loses trust in his father

The ATC in Karachi has extended Armaghan’s physical remand by six more days.

However, during the proceedings, Armaghan expressed distrust in his father, refusing both a meeting and the lawyer appointed by him.

Upon the defence lawyer’s request, the court allowed the suspect’s parents to enter the courtroom, guaranteeing they would not cause any disturbance.

However, during the hearing, Armaghan’s father began creating a commotion, prompting police officers to escort him out of the courtroom.

Armaghan’s remand in journalist attack case extended

Armaghan was presented before theATC after the completion of his previous physical remand in the Mustafa Amir murder case. The court also extended his remand in a separate case involving an attack on a journalist, setting March 24 as the next hearing date.

The judge expelled Kamran Qureshi (Armaghan’s father) from the courtroom after he disrupted the proceedings.

Courtroom chaos as Armaghan’s father protests

Despite the defence lawyer’s assurances, Armaghan’s father disrupted the hearing. After his outburst, police officers forcefully removed him from the courtroom.

Additionally, Armaghan refused to accept the new lawyer hired by his father and declined a meeting with him, stating: “I do not want this lawyer. I have nothing to do with my father.”

The ATC has now requested a progress report for the next hearing.

Journalists barred from ATC complex

Authorities banned journalists from entering the ATC complex, citing orders from senior officials.

Earlier, even Armaghan’s father was denied entry, prompting him to submit a written request to the court, seeking permission to meet his son.

In his application, he argued that a meeting was essential to discuss changing legal representation. He also claimed that denying the meeting was a violation of basic human rights, stressing that fair trial rights require access to his son.

Armaghan expresses desire to confess in court

During the ATC hearing, defence lawyer Tahir Tanoli stated that Armaghan is now ready to confess to the crime.

Mustafa Amir’s mother: Armaghan should be hanged repeatedly

In a major development in the Mustafa Amir murder case, the victim’s mother, Wajiha Amir, has made serious revelations about the prime suspect, Armaghan.

Wajiha Amir described Armaghan as highly cunning, stating that he falls silent for hours after making a single statement.

She said handling him is not easy, which is why the police have repeatedly sought his remand.

She also dismissed the statement of co-accused Shiraz, calling it meaningless and a mere attempt to save himself.

“From day one, I have been threatened regarding Armaghan’s involvement in my son’s case,” she claimed. She accused Shiraz of fabricating a false story, insisting that he would not turn into an approver.

Further elaborating, she alleged that Shiraz was not just a witness but an equal accomplice in the crime. She revealed that the plan to dispose of Mustafa Amir’s body in Balochistan was Shiraz’s idea, adding that his statement holds no weight.

She also denied claims that Mustafa Amir had gone to Armaghan’s house to sell drugs.

She accused Armaghan’s father, Kamran Qureshi, of advising his son to flee after learning about the incident.

“Kamran Qureshi should also be included in the investigation,” she demanded.

According to the police, the suspects destroyed Mustafa Amir’s mobile phone and discarded it in an attempt to erase evidence. Investigations are ongoing as authorities continue to piece together the events leading to the tragic murder.

Prosecution demands case details against Armaghan in Karachi murder case

Mustafa Amir murder case: FIA writes to Sindh police, decides to record statements of police team

Mustafa Amir’s mother: Armaghan should be hanged repeatedly

The prime suspect in Mustafa murder case, Armaghan’s father, Kamran Qureshi, has reportedly threatened public prosecutor Zulfiqar Ali Arain.

Special Public Prosecutor Zulfiqar Ali Arain has formally requested action against the father of the prime suspect, Armaghan.

According to the letter sent to the Prosecutor General Sindh, Arain appeared before the Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) on March 11 during Armaghan’s remand hearing. The court extended Armaghan’s remand until March 17 and allowed his parents to meet him in court.

In his letter, Arain revealed that during this court-approved meeting, Armaghan’s father, Kamran Asghar Qureshi, hurled abuses and issued death threats to him and the investigating officer.

Arain immediately requested the court staff to inform the presiding judge about the situation.

Amid the escalating tension, Arain urged Armaghan’s defence lawyer to intervene.

However, Qureshi, along with several unidentified individuals dressed in black coats — falsely posing as lawyers — engaged in a confrontation with him. According to case records, these individuals were not lawyers but were in fact security personnel assigned to Armaghan’s father.

Arain stated in his letter that he could identify the individuals involved and has requested legal action against them, along with security protection for himself. The prosecution team has also demanded a thorough investigation and legal proceedings against Armaghan’s father.

It is noteworthy that Armaghan’s father had previously issued threats to Special Public Prosecutor Zulfiqar Ali Arain inside the ATC courtroom after his son’s hearing. Arain immediately informed the relevant authorities about these threats.

Despite these reports, no legal action has yet been taken against Kamran Qureshi by the police.

Meanwhile, the court had granted permission for Armaghan’s parents to meet him inside the courtroom upon his lawyers’ request.

What do we know so far about the Mustafa murder case?

The Mustafa murder case is one of the top stories on news channels nowadays. It is a case of the kidnapping and killing of a 23-year-old Karachi resident.

One has to be careful while reporting such news as the choice of words, style of presentation, and thumbnails on YouTube videos often build opinions even before the court announces its judgement in the case. So, in this case, it is of great importance to gather all the available information with background and listen to all versions of the story to report it.

The following text is sourced from the police investigation and interrogation reports, court decisions, and people related to the Mustafa murder case.

Mustafa Amir, a DHA resident, was allegedly abducted on January 6, but the case made headlines when the Sindh policemen addressed a press conference next month. Six days later, the Balochistan Police recovered a charred body in a torched car and handed it over to the Edhi Foundation.

In a media talk on February 14, police claimed that his friends killed the kidnapped youth. They allegedly stuffed the body in the trunk of his car and torched it in Balochistan’s Dureji area. Police also claimed to have arrested the prime suspect’s friend, Sheraz aka Shavez Bukhari. It was Sheraz who disclosed the information during the investigation.

The prime suspect, Armaghan was arrested during a raid of a bungalow in DHA following a ransom call to the family. Suspects allegedly demanded Rs20 million from the victim’s family. Sources within the police say the gun battle with the suspect continued for four hours.

They took laptops from the house, and blood samples were found on a carpet in a room. As the case unfolded, investigators claimed that the conflict between the two started because of a woman. The victim’s mother also accused the same girl of killing her son in a video statement. She claimed that the woman fled to the United States after the incident.

On February 15, an anti-terrorism court in Karachi sent Shiraz to police custody on physical remand till February 21. Police failed to get physical remand of the prime suspect, drawing officials’ ire. A legal expert clarified that the criticism against the court for not granting a physical remand was not appropriate as the police did not seek a physical remand in the first information report related to the case.

He told Aaj News’ programme Dus that the case would come under the jurisdiction of the ATC after the addition of Section 7 of the Anti-Terrorism Act (punishment for acts of terrorism) to the FIR.

On the same day, three police officers were suspended from their duty for their apparent negligence in the case.

The prime suspect was a “habitual offender,” police records showed. Complaints against him alleged that he was involved in extortion, kidnapping, drug dealing, and illegal possession of weapons.

When an Aaj News correspondent visited the suspect’s house, he saw that there was a high-tech facility in the house which was apparently used as a “software house.” Moreover, Kamran Qureshi, the suspect’s father, defended his son’s gun battle with the police and denied accusations. He accused the victim of selling drugs to his son and blamed a “police officer” for the “entire conspiracy.”

On February 17, a judicial magistrate approved a request for the exhumation of Mustafa’s body. Later, a three-member medical panel was formed by the judicial magistrate (West).

The next day, an ATC in Karachi sent the prime suspect to police custody on a four-day remand and sought a medical report.

An interrogation report claimed that the victim and the prime suspect were childhood friends. It was a reiteration of the account Shiraz had told police about the incident.

On February 20, Armaghan allegedly confessed to killing the victim as the chilling details of the report claimed that he offered the victim a “chance to escape before setting him on fire.” The charred vehicle in which Mustafa was allegedly burnt to death was present in Balochistan’s Durerji, Aaj News saw.

When Qureshi appeared on Imran Sultan’s show Dus, he claimed to have substantial evidence and advised to close the case or else “big names” would come to the limelight.

“I want to be the chief investigation officer of my child. I have plenty of evidence. I am a law graduate and hold a firearm licence,” he said while appearing on the show on February 21, 2025.

On February 22, an ATC extended the physical remand of suspects Armaghan and Sheraz by five days. The investigating officer claimed that two blood samples from the suspect’s house were collected and one of the blood samples was linked to a girl identified as ***a. He also informed the court about the money laundering allegations against the suspect

Furthermore, four persons, including a TV actor’s son, were arrested on Saturday. One of the suspects claimed to have sold drugs to Mustafa, according to sources within police.

Sources within the police said initial DNA testing of the samples taken from the body “confirmed that the person burned alive in Balochistan’s Dureji was indeed Mustafa Amir.”

Shiraz, was presented before the court to record his confessional statement under Section 164 on March 2 and investigators have also uncovered that the accused is linked to 11 other criminal cases.

The suspect, Shiraz, told the court on March 3 that he was being pressured to confess. “I was told that if I confessed, my sentence would be reduced,” he claimed.

Late, an ATC in Karachi extended the physical remand of the prime suspect by six days and sent another suspect, Shiraz, to jail on judicial remand.

But reports said that Armaghan was receiving “special treatment” in police custody. A purported leaked audio recording allegedly features Asif Jamil Qureshi, the establishment in charge of the DIG CIA, had surfaced.

A National Assembly Standing Committee’s subcommittee also directed law enforcement agencies to compile a report on the case, detailing key investigative findings and a strategic course of action for the next session.

Moreover, SSP Investigation Shoaib Memon told Samaa TV that one of the suspects in the Mustafa murder case, Sahir Hasan, had taken drugs since the age of eight.

The prime suspect allegedly owned two additional companies and a call centre.

What do we know so far about the Mustafa murder case?

The Mustafa murder case is one of the top stories on news channels nowadays. It is a case of the kidnapping and killing of a 23-year-old Karachi resident.

One has to be careful while reporting such news as the choice of words, style of presentation, and thumbnails on YouTube videos often build opinions even before the court announces its judgement in the case. So, in this case, it is of great importance to gather all the available information with background and listen to all versions of the story to report it.

The following text is sourced from the police investigation and interrogation reports, court decisions, and people related to the Mustafa murder case.

Mustafa Amir, a DHA resident, was allegedly abducted on January 6, but the case made headlines when the Sindh policemen addressed a press conference next month. Six days later, the Balochistan Police recovered a charred body in a torched car and handed it over to the Edhi Foundation.

In a media talk on February 14, police claimed that his friends killed the kidnapped youth. They allegedly stuffed the body in the trunk of his car and torched it in Balochistan’s Dureji area. Police also claimed to have arrested the prime suspect’s friend, Sheraz aka Shavez Bukhari. It was Sheraz who disclosed the information during the investigation.

The prime suspect, Armaghan was arrested during a raid of a bungalow in DHA following a ransom call to the family. Suspects allegedly demanded Rs20 million from the victim’s family. Sources within the police say the gun battle with the suspect continued for four hours.

They took laptops from the house, and blood samples were found on a carpet in a room. As the case unfolded, investigators claimed that the conflict between the two started because of a woman. The victim’s mother also [accused the same girl of killing her son in a video statement][4]. She claimed that the woman fled to the United States after the incident.

On February 15, an anti-terrorism court in Karachi sent [Shiraz to police custody][5] on physical remand till February 21. Police failed to get physical remand of the prime suspect, drawing officials’ ire. A legal expert clarified that the criticism against the court for not granting a physical remand was not appropriate as the police did not seek a physical remand in the first information report related to the case.

He [told Aaj News’ programme Dus][6] that the case would come under the jurisdiction of the ATC after the addition of Section 7 of the Anti-Terrorism Act (punishment for acts of terrorism) to the FIR.

On the same day, three police officers were [suspended from their duty][7] for their apparent negligence in the case.

The prime suspect was a [“habitual offender,” police records showed][8]. Complaints against him alleged that he was involved in extortion, kidnapping, drug dealing, and illegal possession of weapons.

When an Aaj News correspondent [visited the suspect’s house][9], he saw that there was a high-tech facility in the house which was apparently used as a “software house.” Moreover, Kamran Qureshi, the suspect’s father, [defended his son’s gun battle with the police][10] and denied accusations. He accused the victim of selling drugs to his son and [blamed a “police officer” for the “entire conspiracy.”][11]

On February 17, a judicial magistrate [approved][12] a request for the exhumation of Mustafa’s body. Later, a three-member medical panel was formed by the judicial magistrate (West).

The next day, an ATC in Karachi [sent the prime suspect to police custody on a four-day remand][13] and sought a medical report.

An interrogation report claimed that the victim and the prime suspect were [childhood friends.][14] It was a reiteration of the account Shiraz had told police about the incident.

On February 20, Armaghan allegedly confessed to killing the victim as the chilling details of the report claimed that he offered the victim a “chance to escape before setting him on fire.” The charred vehicle in which Mustafa was allegedly burnt to death was present in Balochistan’s Durerji, [Aaj News saw][15].

When Qureshi [appeared on Imran Sultan’s show Dus,][16] he claimed to have substantial evidence and advised to close the case or else “big names” would come to the limelight.

“I want to be the chief investigation officer of my child. I have plenty of evidence. I am a law graduate and hold a firearm licence,” he said while appearing on the show on February 21, 2025.

On February 22, an ATC [extended the physical remand of suspects Armaghan and Sheraz by five days.][17] The investigating officer claimed that two blood samples from the suspect’s house were [collected and one of the blood samples][18] was linked to a girl identified as ***a. He also informed the court about the money laundering allegations against the suspect
