KARACHI – On Tuesday, an Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) in Karachi granted a four-day physical remand for prime suspect Armaghan in the brutal murder case of Mustafa Amir, a young man whose death has shocked the city.
Armaghan was presented before ATC II, with Sindh Prosecutor General Muntazir Mehdi also attending the session.
At the beginning of the hearing, Armaghan refused to sign the power of attorney and claimed he had been physically abused during the investigation.
The investigation team informed the court that they were working to recover the murder weapon.
Upon inquiry from the court about the recovery of the body, the investigation officer confirmed that the body had been located, and an order had been issued for its exhumation.
During the proceedings, the suspect briefly lost consciousness.
In the end, the court granted the four-day physical remand, accepting the police’s request.

Earlier on Monday, a local court in Karachi had ordered the exhumation of Mustafa Amir’s body. The young man was allegedly murdered by his friend, Armaghan, in a brutal attack. The court directed that a medical board be constituted for the exhumation, with a report to be provided within seven days.
Chilling Details of the Case
Mustafa Amir’s tragic death has cast a dark shadow over his family, with police launching an investigation into the case. Authorities suggest that the murder stemmed from a personal dispute between two friends.
Sheraz, another suspect initially apprehended by police, claimed that Armaghan killed Mustafa to settle a personal vendetta. Reports also suggest a female involvement in the horrific murder of the 24-year-old Mustafa.
On January 6, Armaghan reportedly lured Mustafa to his home under false pretenses, where he brutally beat him with an iron rod for three hours. He then placed the body in his car’s trunk and drove towards Hub, Balochistan.
Mustafa’s mother, Wajeeha Amir, had difficulty getting the police to register a case and suspected Armaghan’s involvement. Initially, police treated the case as a kidnapping for ransom, but after further investigation, they discovered Mustafa’s charred remains in Hub, more than a month after his disappearance from Karachi’s Defence area.
