A local court has remanded Sahir Hassan, son of actor Sajid Hassan, into police custody for one day as investigations continue in the Mustafa Amir murder case. Allegations of drug dealing and police misconduct have emerged, but Sahir insists he has been falsely implicated.
Sahir Rejects Allegations
During the court proceedings, Sahir Hassan denied any role in the crime. He claimed police forcibly took him from his home and later planted drugs on him.
“I have no connection to the murder. The police falsely claim they recovered drugs from me,” he told the court.
Sahir also denied any drug transactions with Mustafa Amir or the prime suspect, Armaghan Qureshi. “I never bought or sold drugs to either of them,” he stated.
Conflicting Statements from Investigators
Despite Sahir’s denial, police presented contradictory evidence. Investigators alleged that Sahir was involved in drug dealings with both Mustafa and Armaghan. Officials claimed that on January 5, Sahir sold 2 to 2.5 grams of drugs to Armaghan.
Authorities further suggested that Mustafa and Sahir were rivals in the drug trade. During police raids, law enforcement recovered drugs worth Rs 5.5 million.

Legal Defense and Police Accusations
Sahir’s lawyer, Advocate Faraz Fahim, accused the Darakhshan police of deliberately targeting his client. He revealed that Sajid Hassan had previously filed a case against the same police station in 2022.
Sajid Hassan urged media channels to be responsible. “The case has gained attention, but misinformation must not spread,” he said.
Meanwhile, police continue their crackdown on drug networks, detaining multiple individuals linked to Mustafa Amir and Armaghan.
Background of the Mustafa Amir Case
The case involves the alleged kidnapping and murder of Mustafa Amir, a DHA resident who disappeared on January 6. The primary suspects, Armaghan Qureshi and his friend Shiraz, are accused of murdering Mustafa before burning his body and car.
Investigators say Mustafa and Armaghan had a conflict over a girl during New Year’s Eve. On January 6, Armaghan allegedly lured Mustafa to his home under false pretenses and fatally attacked him. The suspects then placed Mustafa’s body in his car’s trunk, drove to Hub, Balochistan, and set the vehicle on fire.
Ongoing Investigations and New Evidence
Authorities have seized modern weapons from Armaghan’s house. The Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) is investigating the origin of these arms, while the Anti-Violent Crime Cell (AVCC) has sought help from the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to analyze data from a seized laptop.
A critical piece of evidence, a final audio recording from Mustafa, has also surfaced. In the recording, he reportedly tells a friend he is heading to Armaghan’s house and suggests his friend join later.
Investigators have uncovered Armaghan’s criminal history, linking him to extortion, kidnapping, drug dealing, and illegal weapon possession.
The case has sparked public outrage, with authorities under pressure to conduct a fair and transparent investigation. The court has ordered police to submit a progress report in the next hearing.
