Mustafa Amir murdercase: interim challansubmitted
The 13-page interim challan of the Mustafa Amir kidnapping and murder case was submitted to the Anti-Terrorism Administrative Court on Monday by Prosecutor Zulfiqar Ali Arain after the scrutiny was completed.
The final challan will be submitted after the Punjab Forensic Lab releases reports on the phone and laptop, the prosecutor told the court.
According to the challan, two suspects - Armughan Qureshi alias Army and Shiraz - have been arrested. Both gave video confessions before the SSP, admitting to kidnapping, torturing, and killing Mustafa Amir by setting him on fire in a car in Hub, Balochistan.
Shiraz's statement reveals that on February 6, Mustafa arrived at Armughan's house, where he was beaten, tied up, and later driven to Hub. After a three-hour drive, Armughan set the car on fire with Mustafa inside. The accused then fled on foot, later hiring a pickup for Rs2,000 to return to Karachi.
CCTV footage from the Rangers post at Hamdard Mor confirms their movement. A waiter from a roadside eatery on RCD Highway, where the suspects stopped for breakfast, also recorded a statement.

Car theft: tracker jammed, vehicle gone
Car lifters stole a vehicle worth millions of rupees from outside a house in DHA Phase VIII and escaped by using a signal jammer on the first night of Eidul Azha. Apparently, the lives and property of Karachi's citizens are safe neither inside their homes nor on the roads. The incident took place around 3am in Khayaban-e-Ghalib, outside the residence of Tariq Hussain. The thieves arrived in a car, pulled up behind the parked vehicle, disabled its tracker with a jammer, and calmly drove away. The entire theft was captured on CCTV and has since gone viral on social media. Despite repeated incidents, the Anti-Vehicle Lifting Cell (AVLC) has failed to prevent the ongoing wave of car and motorcycle thefts across the city. Citizens are left to bear the financial and emotional burden, while police officials continue to express unwarranted satisfaction in internal review meetings - starkly disconnected from the ground reality. Even the patrol team of Sahil Police Station, responsible for the area, failed to deter the culprits during the theft. According to tracker company records, the car's location still shows as the original spot, indicating that the vehicle's actual whereabouts remain unknown due to the jammer. Following the incident, Tariq Hussain filed a complaint at Sahil Police Station. A case was registered and transferred to the AVLC Clifton Division for further investigation. However, as of now, there has been no progress in recovering the stolen car.
