- FIA investigators have uncovered multiple merchant accounts linked to Armaghan, the prime suspect in the Mustafa Amir murder case, which were used for his call center operations.
- Authorities are examining cryptocurrency accounts associated with Armaghan, with particular focus on accounts that have been recently emptied.
- The investigation has expanded to include four companies connected to Armaghan—two registered in Pakistan and two in the United States—while police are now seeking to question his father.
Pakistani investigators have discovered cryptocurrency accounts linked to the prime suspect in a high-profile murder case, adding a digital finance dimension to an already complex criminal investigation. The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) revealed Saturday that several merchant accounts tied to Armaghan, the main suspect in the Mustafa Amir murder, were used to facilitate payments for a call center operated from his residence.
According to FIA sources, authorities have identified four bank accounts connected to Armaghan’s operations and are actively investigating them to uncover additional merchant accounts. The financial investigation has broadened to include cryptocurrency holdings, with particular attention to accounts that appear to have been deliberately emptied in recent weeks.
The financial trail has led investigators to four companies associated with Armaghan, with an international dimension to the case as two of these entities are registered in Pakistan while the remaining two are incorporated in the United States.
In parallel developments, police have decided to expand their investigation to include Kamran Qureshi, Armaghan’s father. This decision follows revelations in the suspect’s confessional statement, which was recorded on video and confirmed in the police remand report.
“The accused has confessed that he had informed his father Kamran Qureshi after murder,” according to official police documentation. Investigators indicated that questioning the father has become necessary in light of this statement.
Technical aspects of the investigation continue to develop as authorities have sent Armaghan’s laptop and mobile devices to the Punjab forensic laboratory for detailed analysis. The confessional statement was recorded in the presence of the SSP Anti-Violent Crimes Cell (AVCC), adding procedural verification to the evidence gathering process.
Police have requested an extension of Armaghan’s physical remand until March 24, citing that their investigation remains incomplete. Previously, an Anti-Terrorism court (ATC) in Karachi extended the physical remand of the suspect for seven days, with instructions for the investigation officer to submit a progress report at the next hearing.
The case stems from the January 6 kidnapping and alleged murder of Mustafa Amir in Karachi’s Defence Housing Authority (DHA). Police report that after the murder, the victim’s friends placed his body in the trunk of his own vehicle and set it ablaze in Balochistan’s Hub area.
