An unde -verified audio recording which is broadcast online and reported in local media suggests that the police had been a special treatment in Armaghan, the first suspect in the murder of Mustafa Amir, 23.
The recording, which surfaced Thursday, would showcase Armaghan’s uncle, Aif Jamil Qureshi, in conversation with a higher police officer.
In the conversation, Qureshi identifies as the establishment in charge under Dig Cia Muqaddas Haider. He claims in recording that he had personally assured Armaghan’s surrender and stayed with him for two hours in a bungalow before his arrest.
The officer assures Qureshi that Armaghan would not be subject to torture. He recognizes that Armaghan was maintained in a “good place” because of the influence of his uncle and that the same had been communicated to Armaghan.
The disclose audio also suggests that Qureshi had tried to offer 500,000 rupees to ensure additional privileges for its nephew.
The officer is heard rejecting the amount, declaring that Armaghan was not a “part of five Lakh” and that a prison manager had asked 5 million rupees for better conditions in prison.
Officials have not yet commented on the authenticity of the recording.
Mustafa Amir, 23, disappeared from Karachi DHA on January 6, and it took the police 39 days to determine that he had been murdered. His charred body was discovered later in Balutchistan.
Armaghan, a knowledge of the victim, was arrested on February 8 after a spectacular four -hour case, during which he opened fire on the police, injuring a DSP and a constable.
The case has exposed links to an alleged network of drugs, in particular involving the cannabis trade, in which the suspect and the victim were committed.
In the midst of the unfolding investigation, the assistant sub-inspector (ASI) Nadeem of the Gizri police was also examined for his alleged ties with the suspect. The authorities revealed that ISA Nadeem had been in communication with Armaghan, who, according to him, was linked to the current surveys. However, suspicions argued that the officer may have helped to protect Armaghan from legal consequences in a previous case.
While ASA Nadeem was questioned and then released, officials said that new surveys could follow if necessary.
In addition, three police officers were suspended and demoted for managing the case.
In addition, the Sindh High Court (SHC) also judged that the judicial dismissal of the main suspect Armaghan Qureshi and the formation of a joint investigation team (JIT) – both ordered earlier by the administrative judge of anti -terrorist courses (ATC) in Karachi – were they illegal. The court recommended to withdraw the judge’s administrative powers, marking a rare reprimand of procedural decisions in a case already under intense public control.
Meanwhile, Asif Jamil Qureshi was one of eight police officials accused in the alleged extrajudicial murder of Rasul Bakhsh Brohi, a Jamshoro worker, who was allegedly killed during a police meeting staged in the Karachi Gad area on July 12, 2006.
After the incident, Brohi was falsely presented as the notorious Dacit Mashooq Ali Brohi. The case was recorded at the Sakrand police station on the basis of a complaint filed by his widow.
The accused included senior law enforcement officials, such as SP Chaudhry Aslam, DSP Irfan Bahadur, Inspector Ishaq Lashari and Inspector Nasirul Hasan, with officers Bahauddin Babar, Sarwar Commando, Nazeer Ahmed and Aif Jamil Qurehi.
On July 31, 2008, the High Court of Sindh (SHC), under Khawaja judge, Naveed Ahmed, acquitted the eight officers, citing the lack of evidence. The decision was made after the main accusation was not identified by the accusation, bringing the court to reject the case.
