One of the suspects in the Mustafa murder case, Sahir Hasan, took drugs since the age of eight, SSP Investigation Shoaib Memon said on Saturday.

“Sahir’s family also used drugs, and he cultivated weed at the age of 14,” he said while appearing on the Samaa TV show via video link. “Sahir received drugs through Basel and Yahya from Islamabad.”

Sahir was among four people arrested on February 22 during raids aimed at combating drug sales, purchases, and use.

On February 23, a judicial magistrate (south) sent Sahir to police custody on a one-day physical remand in the Mustafa murder case. In the hearing, the investigating officer said that over 500 grams of drugs were recovered from the suspect’s possession.

He allegedly confessed to supplying drugs for the past two years, a day after the police arrested him in the Mustafa murder case investigation. Sahir was allegedly found with foreign-branded drugs and had purportedly been involved in drug trafficking, they added, causing a ‘stir’ within the business community, bureaucracy, and the entertainment industry.

Last month, the court rejected a plea to extend his physical remand case and sent him to jail on judicial remand. The decision was made after the police produced him in court after the completion of his remand.

Two more suspects have been apprehended in another operation, Memon said and added that the suspects brought cocaine from Lahore.

Memon alleged that both suspects supply cocaine at dance parties in DHA Clifton and 80 grams of cocaine were recovered from them, which they were selling in packets of one gram each.

The suspects purchased cocaine from Lahore, bringing 100 grams for Rs1 million and sold it in Karachi for Rs2 million, the SSP added.

A total of three arrests have been made, and “no political patronage” has been identified so far. Investigations are under way into those who purchased cocaine from them.

The SSP claimed that some individuals used cocaine while others acted as “sub-distributors”, and the main target would be the distributor, as one link was still missing.

Memon stated that Sahir received drugs through Basel and Yahya from Islamabad and that a “transport link from California to Islamabad is missing.” The matter would be clarified after the arrests of two suspects.

The SSP investigation stated, “The TV actor’s son has been using drugs since the age of 8, and his family also used drugs at home.” Sahir “engaged in the drug use as influenced by his family and cultivated weed at home by the age of 14.”

When asked about the prominent individuals attending parties at Armaghan’s house, the SSP investigation replied that the inquiry was “outside their domain.” He claimed that an investigation into the alleged role of Sahir’s father into the drugs supply.
