KARACHI:

Armaghan Qureshi, the key accused in the Mustafa Amir kidnapping and murder case, has confessed to his involvement in the gruesome crime, as per police investigators.

Armaghan revealed during interrogation in the remand room that he had severely injured the victim by hitting him on the hands and feet with a folding rod. After that, he pulled out his rifle and fired three warning shots at Mustafa.

He allegedly revealed that he himself had driven the car from DHA to Dariji in Balochistan where Mustafa's body was disposed of. "We had taped Mustafa's mouth and tied his hands and feet. He was alive but in semi-conscious condition when I set fire to his car," Armaghan was quoted as saying by police investigators.

The investigators are preparing a video recording of Armaghan's confessional statement.
