Mustafa Amir Murder: Court orders authorities to present deceased on Feb 27

Karachi: A Karachi anti-narcotics court has issued a non-bailable arrest warrant for Mustafa Amir, a young man from DHA, who was kidnapped and murdered in January.

Amir was killed on January 6 in the Defence Housing Authority (DHA) area. He had been booked in 2024 for allegedly smuggling drugs through a courier service under the name "Taimoor." Despite his death, the court has ordered authorities to present him before the bench on February 27.

Amir was kidnapped and murdered by two men, Armaghan and Sheraz, who later placed his body in the trunk of his car and set it on fire in Hub, Balochistan. After their arrest, Armaghan and Sheraz confessed to the crime, revealing they took Amir to Dareji before burning the car while he was still semi-conscious.

The authorities are expected to update the court on Amir’s murder during the next hearing, as there is confusion surrounding the arrest warrant issued for the deceased.

In a separate development, a Karachi court granted police a one-day physical remand of Sahir Hassan, the son of actor Sajid Hassan, in connection with Amir's murder. Sahir was arrested on drug possession charges and is accused of supplying drugs in upscale areas for the past two years. Authorities also recovered narcotics worth Rs50 million from him.
