A special public prosecutor in the Mustafa Amir murder case directed the police on Monday to investigate Armaghan's father, Kamran Qureshi, and check his criminal record.

The direction was shared in a guideline provided by the public prosecutor to the police to further investigate the case, which unveiled an extensive drug network in Karachi's Defense area.

Additionally, the guideline ordered the equipment recovered from Armaghan, including his laptop, armed weapons, and other items, to be sent for forensic examination immediately.

Notably, authorities recovered weapons, a digital safe locker, and two CNIC cards from Armaghan's house, which will be investigated under the guidelines.

The prosecutor instructed the concerned authorities to register cases against Armaghan after surveilling his activities before Mustafa's murder.
