Armughan's father arrested, drugs, arms recovered

KARACHI:

The Anti-Violent Crime Cell (AVCC) of police has arrested Kamran Qureshi, the father of Armughan Qureshi, a prime suspect in the high-profile kidnapping and murder case of Mustafa Amir. The AVCC also recovered 200 grams of ice (crystal methamphetamine) and a 9mm pistol along with 10 live rounds of ammunition from Kamran's possession.

Kamran was taken into custody during a raid on his residence, located in DHA Phase V, Khyaban-e-Momin. Police confirmed that a case has been registered against Kamran under the Control of Narcotic Substances Act and for the possession of unlicensed weapon.

AVCC SSP Anil Haider Minhas said that they are investigating to trace the origins of the pistol and to determine who purchased it. Initial findings suggest that Kamran bought the 9mm pistol from Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa. Investigators have also recovered videos from Kamrna's mobile phone, which show him firing the weapon prior to its purchase.

SSP Minhas further stated that Kamran will also be questioned regarding his potential involvement in his son Armughan's suspected illegal business dealings. Should new evidence come to light during this investigation, it may be used to further probe the circumstances surrounding the murder of Mustafa Amir.

Meanwhile, a video statement of Kamran Qureshi has surfaced after his arrest. In the video, Kamran Qureshi apologises to media representatives for his behaviour. He mentioned that as a father, he was worried about his son. The media was covering the case in their own way, and he was viewing the case from his perspective. If, during this entire situation, he hurt the feelings of any media person, he asks for their forgiveness. He appealed to the media representatives for forgiveness.
