KARACHI: The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has initiated a probe into the Mustafa Amir murder case, writing to Sindh police for clarification on the arrest of Armaghan, the prime suspect in the case. The FIA has also decided to record the statements of the police officers involved in a raid on Armaghan’s residence.
Sources reveal that the FIA is working to gather comprehensive information, including details on Armaghan and his associates, to investigate their potential criminal connections and ties to organized crime networks. The agency plans to visit Armaghan’s bungalow to collect further evidence.
The Mustafa Amir murder case revolves around the kidnapping and killing of 23-year-old Mustafa Amir, a resident of DHA Karachi. He was allegedly abducted on January 6, with the case gaining attention after a press conference by Sindh police in February. Six days after the abduction, Balochistan police recovered a charred body in a torched car, believed to be Mustafa’s.
Investigators claim that Mustafa’s friends were involved in the crime, with one suspect, Sheraz aka Shavez Bukhari, arrested and reportedly disclosing information during interrogation. The prime suspect, Armaghan, was arrested after a raid at his DHA bungalow following a ransom call demanding Rs 20 million from Mustafa’s family. The raid involved a four-hour gun battle, and police collected blood samples and laptops from the suspect’s residence.

Further investigations suggest the conflict between Mustafa and Armaghan stemmed from a woman, a claim supported by Mustafa’s mother in a video statement. She accused the woman of being involved in her son’s death and claimed the woman fled to the United States after the incident.
As the investigation continues, an anti-terrorism court in Karachi has remanded Sheraz into police custody, while police remain under scrutiny for their handling of the case. The prime suspect, Armaghan, has a history of criminal activity, including extortion, kidnapping, drug dealing, and illegal weapons possession.
