KARACHI: An anti-terrorism court (ATC) on Saturday extended the physical remand, by five days, of prime accused Armaghan in the Mustafa Amir murder case
The court also extended the remand of co-accused Shiraz Bukhari alias Shavez and issued directives for conducting his medical examination.
The latest development in the case comes after police produced the accused before the ATC after the expiry of their four-day physical remand granted earlier on Tuesday.
The case relates to the alleged kidnapping and murder of a BBA student, Mustafa, who had gone missing on January 6. The whole saga unfolded after Armaghan opened fire at a team of the Anti-Violent Crime Cell (AVCC) a specialised unit of the Karachi police responsible for tackling cases related to murder and extortion during a raid at his residence in Karachi’s DHA earlier this month.
Meanwhile, the deceased’s body found by police in a car near the Hub checkpost on January 12 and buried by the Edhi Foundation on January 16 was exhumed on Friday by a three-member medical board under the supervision of a judicial magistrate.
The mortal remains have been handed over to the Edhi Foundation and will remain in their morgue till the DNA report comes to the fore.
The body, as per the judicial magistrate’s letter addressed to the rescue organisation, will be buried in the cemetery designated for abandoned, unclaimed bodies in case it does not match the family’s DNA.
