'Personally drove car to Balochistan'; Mustafa’s murder suspect makes shocking revelation

The prime suspect in Karachi student Mustafa Amir’s murder has revealed shocking details during a four-day physical remand, a leading English newspaper reported on Thursday.

As per the details, prime suspect Armughan admitted that he personally drove the victim's car from Khyaban-e-Momin in the Defence Housing Authority (DHA) to the Daraji area in Balochistan, where Amir's body was disposed of. 

He confessed that he had taken measures to cover his tracks before being apprehended, admitting to deleting all data from the laptop at his home.

Meanwhile, according to police records, Armughan has been implicated in multiple serious crimes since 2019, including terrorism, attempted murder, drug trafficking, and extortion. Over the years, he has faced charges at several police stations, including Darakhshan, Sahil, Gizri, Boat Basin, and with the ANF.

Speaking to a private media outlet today (Thursday), Karachi correspondent Kamil Arif alleged that Armughan and Mustafa had been associated with a drug cartel.

Commenting on sophisticated weapons recovered during a raid at the Armughan’s house recently, Arif claimed that the firearms are not available in the Pakistan market, hinting that the guns might have been brought from the dark web.

He went on to further claim that only selected individuals knew Armughan by his real name; the rest, including his servants, called him the “boss”. “He [Armughan] had hidden his identity,” Arif said.

When asked about the suspect's father's background, Kamil claimed that Armughan's father had once been associated with a musical band.

As per media details, Armughan had been running an illegal software house and call centre from his home in Gizri. This illicit operation allegedly defrauded foreign clients of millions of dollars over the years. 

Bachelor Business Administration (BBA) student Mustafa had gone missing on January 6. The case came to light after the prime suspect opened fire at a team of the Anti-Violent Crime Cell (AVCC) — a specialised unit of the Karachi police responsible for tackling cases related to murder and extortion — during a raid at his residence in Karachi DHA earlier this month.

On Jan 12, police found an unidentified body in a torched car in Hub, which Balochistan police later handed over to the Edhi Foundation for burial. The unclaimed body was buried at the Edhi graveyard in Karachi on Jan 16.

Arif claimed that the grave is being exhumed tomorrow (Friday) to collect DNA samples for matching with Amir’s mother.
