Police have revealed that 23-year-old Mustafa Amir, kidnapped from Karachi’s DHA area, was murdered by his friends. The investigation uncovered that the suspects killed Amir, placed his body in his car, and burned it in the Hub area of Balochistan.
Kidnapping and Ransom Demand
Amir was abducted on January 6, and his family received a ransom call two weeks later. Despite the demand, Amir remained missing. The police arrested his friend Armaghan after a shootout but failed to secure his physical remand.
Breakthrough Confession
At a press conference, CIA DIG Muqaddus Haider announced the arrest of Armaghan’s associate, Sheraz, also known as Shavez Bukhari. During interrogation, Sheraz admitted to the murder. He confessed that on the night of January 6, he and Armaghan called Amir to Armaghan’s residence in DHA. A dispute erupted, leading to a violent scuffle. Armaghan tied and beat Amir before shooting him at 11 p.m.

Disposal of the Body
The suspects placed Amir’s body in the trunk of his car and drove to the Dureji area of Hub, where they set the vehicle on fire. They traveled part of the way on foot and later used another vehicle to return to Karachi.
Balochistan police confirmed recovering a charred body and burnt vehicle on January 12. After conducting medico-legal formalities, the body was handed over to the Edhi Foundation for burial.
Evidence Collection and New Arrests
On February 8, police raided Armaghan’s residence in DHA. The raid resulted in a shootout, injuring a DSP and police constable before Armaghan was apprehended. During the search, officers found Amir’s cell phone and bloodstains at the scene. These were sent for forensic matching.
Motive Behind the Crime
DIG Haider stated that the murder appeared to stem from a personal dispute between the friends. The suspects demanded ransom calls to mislead investigators and divert attention from the actual crime.
Further Investigation
Authorities plan to exhume Amir’s body for DNA testing to confirm the identity. The new evidence has prompted the police to approach the judiciary for Armaghan’s remand to continue their investigation.
The case sheds light on the dangers of personal disputes and emphasizes the importance of thorough investigations in solving such crimes.
