In the Mustafa Amir murder case, a misconduct notice has reportedly been issued to a police officer allegedly facilitating the prime suspect, Armaghan.
Meanwhile, police officials maintain that no connection has been established between the three girls linked to the case and Mustafa Amir’s murder. The licences for the weapons recovered from Armaghan’s house have not been presented so far, and according to the ongoing investigation, these weapons are illegal and the CIA police have yet to approach the CTD for an investigation.
After allegations of connections and facilitation with Armaghan, ASI Nadeem of the Gizri police station has been issued a misconduct notice by police officials, and an investigation into the matter has begun. However, there has been no confirmation of any arrest of any police officer so far.
The CIA police have given a clean chit to the three girls linked to the Mustafa Amir case. When CIA DIG Muqaddas Haider was contacted regarding this matter, he told The News, “No girl is directly related to this case as per our investigation till date. Yes, we have recorded some statements, but no connections have been established in the ongoing investigation,” he explained.
When a senior CTD officer was contacted regarding media reports about the investigation into weapons recovered from Armaghan’s house, he denied such reports. He stated that the CIA police have not yet approached the CTD regarding the investigation of these weapons, nor has the CTD initiated any inquiry in this regard.
During Armaghan’s arrest, the police had claimed to have seized expensive, sophisticated weapons and a large quantity of ammunition from his house. The AVCC police had also claimed that one of the recovered rifles was so expensive that its estimated value was around Rs 3.5 million. Following this, there were also claims that the investigation would determine whether an individual is legally allowed to possess such weapons. However, as of now, the CTD has not been approached by the CIA police regarding this matter.
CIA DIG Muqaddas Haider told The News that the Mustafa Amir case is almost reaching its conclusion. He explained that the CIA police were primarily responsible for investigating the kidnapping and murder, which they have successfully completed. Regarding the three girls whose names surfaced during the investigation, Muqaddas Haider revealed that blood traces found on a carpet from Armaghan’s house were sent for DNA profiling. The results confirmed that some of the blood belonged to Mustafa Amir, but the same carpet also had traces of a female’s blood. This led the police to expand their investigation, ultimately involving Zuma in the inquiry.
According to Zuma’s statement, Armaghan’s call centre business had been shut down in September last year, and she had worked there previously. However, two days before Mustafa Amir’s murder, Armaghan called Zuma to his house and assaulted her, leaving her injured and her blood stains were on the carpet.
DIG Muqaddas Haider stated that Armaghan suspected Zuma of being associated with people responsible for shutting down his call centre, which had caused him financial losses. Regarding Mustafa Amir’s murder, Muqaddas Haider mentioned that there were multiple motives, including Armaghan’s growing resentment toward Mustafa Amir’s popularity.
Given Armaghan’s nature, he had developed personal issues with Mustafa over time. As for the weapons found in Armaghan’s house, DIG Muqaddas Haider clarified that the CIA has already begun its own investigation. Additionally, a formal request has been sent to the FIA, but since this follows a proper legal procedure, it takes time.
In response to another question, he revealed that both Armaghan and Sheraz had gone into hiding and had only returned two days before the police encounter. He further stated that Armaghan did not expect the police to reach him so soon, and due to his aggressive nature, he opened fire on the police during the raid.
