Authorities have exhumed the body presumed to be that of Mustafa Amir, a 23-year-old BBA student, from Keamari graveyard as part of an ongoing murder investigation. The remains have been sent for forensic analysis, and the body will be handed over to the family once DNA results confirm the identity. This marks a crucial step in solving the brutal murder case that has shocked Karachi.
DNA Test to Determine Identity
Mustafa Amir went missing on January 6, 2025. Days later, police discovered a charred body in a car near the Hub checkpost. Unable to identify it at the time, they handed the remains over to the Edhi Foundation, which buried them on January 16.
Following new developments in the investigation, a three-member medical board, led by Police Surgeon Dr. Summaya Syed, supervised the exhumation under court orders. Samples from the remains will now undergo forensic testing. If the DNA test confirms Mustafa’s identity, his family will receive the body. If not, the remains will be reburied in a designated cemetery for unclaimed bodies.

Prime Suspect Armaghan to Appear in Court
The prime suspect, Armaghan, is currently in police custody and will be presented before the Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) No. 3 for remand. Investigators are probing his involvement in multiple crimes, including murder, fraud, and illegal trade.
Meanwhile, authorities have expanded their investigation. The Anti-Violent Crime Cell (AVCC) has sought assistance from the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to examine financial records linked to the suspect. The police’s Special Investigation Unit (SIU) is also looking into his potential involvement in the illegal drug trade.
Brutal Murder Unfolds in Interrogation
During police interrogation, Armaghan confessed to the gruesome torture and murder of Mustafa Amir.
According to his statement, he invited Mustafa and another suspect, Shiraz Bukhari (alias Shavez), to his bungalow in DHA. Under the influence of drugs, he assaulted Mustafa for two hours, using an iron rod to beat him severely. Mustafa suffered serious head and knee injuries, causing excessive bleeding.
Shiraz attempted to intervene, but the violence continued. Later, the two suspects loaded the injured victim into his car and drove towards Hub. Upon reaching the location, Armaghan discovered that Mustafa was still alive.
In a horrific act of cruelty, he doused Mustafa and the car in petrol and set them on fire, mocking Mustafa’s inability to escape due to his injuries. Shiraz then urged Armaghan to flee, and they hitchhiked back to Karachi in separate vehicles.
Following Armaghan’s confession, police raided his bungalow and recovered the iron rod used in the attack.
Call Center Scam and Criminal Past
Investigators also uncovered a call center operation inside Armaghan’s bungalow, where he allegedly defrauded U.S. citizens through fake domestic services. During the raid, police seized multiple laptops, security cameras, motion detectors, walkthrough gates, and illegal weapons. Reports also surfaced that Armaghan employed over 40 security guards.
Authorities are still working to determine the full extent of his financial crimes. However, preliminary investigations confirm that he had been previously booked in at least six cases, including violent offenses and terrorism charges.
With new evidence and ongoing investigations, law enforcement is committed to bringing justice to Mustafa Amir and his grieving family.
