Karachi (Web Desk): The body of Mustafa Amir has been exhumed and transferred to a morgue for further examination.
This took place at the Edhi cemetery in the Moach Goth area of Karachi, under heavy police presence.
The procedure was conducted with a medical team on-site, led by Police Surgeon Dr Samiya Syed and Amir Hassan, the head of the CPLC Identification Project, who initially examined the grave before samples were taken from the body for analysis.
Mustafa’s body had been handed over to the Edhi Foundation by the Daryaji police on February 12.
Four days later, it was declared unclaimed and buried at the Moach Goth cemetery.
A post-mortem examination will be carried out to establish the cause of death, and DNA samples will be taken for identity confirmation.
The forensic samples, which include between seven to eleven different samples, will be sent to the laboratory at Karachi University, with results expected within 3 to 4 days.
Once the identification is confirmed, the body will be returned to Mustafa Amir's family.
The exhumation was authorized by the Sindh High Court, following a request by the police. A judicial magistrate approved the formation of a medical board to perform the post-mortem and gather DNA samples.
Meanwhile, two suspects—Armaghan and Shiraz—accused in Mustafa’s murder, are scheduled to be presented for remand at the Anti-Terrorism Court No. 3. Prosecutor General Sindh, Muntazir Mehdi, confirmed the remand applications, noting that Armaghan had previously been granted a four-day remand in another court, while Shiraz’s remand authority has now been transferred.
In a related development, the SSP of Hub has ordered a thorough investigation into the murder, and SDPO Winder, Muhammad Jan, is tasked with gathering more evidence and following all potential leads.
Investigators are also looking into why the police were informed late about the discovery of the burned vehicle.
There are suspicions that the suspects knew the area well, which may have influenced the route they took to dispose of the body.
The murder itself occurred after Mustafa, who had been missing since January 6, was allegedly killed by his childhood friends, Armaghan and Shiraz, over a dispute involving a girl during New Year’s Eve.
On January 6, Mustafa was lured to Armaghan's house under false pretenses, where he was killed.
The suspects then transported his body in the trunk of his car to Hub, Balochistan, where they set the vehicle on fire.
The police later recovered modern weapons from Armaghan’s residence, prompting the Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) to investigate their origin. Authorities are also working with the FIA to analyze a laptop seized from Armaghan's home.
A chilling audio recording has recently emerged, believed to be from Mustafa’s last moments, in which he tells a friend that he’s heading to Armaghan’s house and suggests his friend should join him later.
This recording has raised serious questions, as it implies that Mustafa’s friend was aware of his plans but did not inform the authorities for over a month, leaving many to question the handling of the investigation.
As the investigation progresses, the authorities are hoping that the post-mortem results and the analysis of the seized evidence will help clarify the events leading up to Mustafa Amir’s tragic death.
