Mustafa probe uncovers drugs network
According to the Specialized Investigation Unit (SIU) police, Sahir Hasan, son of TV star Sajid Hasan, has disclosed that both Mustafa Amir, and his suspected murderer Armughan, used to buy drugs from him.
Investigators revealed that on January 2, Mustafa Amir acquired two grams of drugs from Sahir Hasan on credit. Later, on January 15, Armughan and Shiraz visited him and bought an ounce of drugs worth Rs350,000.
During investigation, Sahir revealed an extensive drug trafficking network. According to SIU officials, the suspect disclosed that the drugs originate from Colombia and are smuggled into Pakistan via California. They arrive in Islamabad and Lahore through courier services. Two brothers, operating through the dark web, orchestrate these shipments and coordinate deliveries in Pakistan. One of their cousins facilitates the final distribution in Karachi.
Sahir also revealed that one of the most expensive drugs in this network is called 'Alien Leap,' commonly known as 'Jungle Boy.' The price of this potent drug is Rs12,000 per gram.
Further investigations revealed that Sahir earns huge profits from drug trafficking. He reportedly sells up to six pounds of drugs monthly, earning an estimated Rs6.3 million. Police recovered 557 grams of narcotics from his possession, valued at over Rs8.3 million.
Sahir admitted to running this illicit trade for two and a half years. Police investigators are now widening their probe to dismantle this network and arrest other people involved in the drug trade and Mustafa Amir's murder.

During the drive, several vans and pick-up vehicles found with LPG cylinders were impounded and shifted to police stations. A total of eight FIRs were also registered against the vehicle owners by the Regional Transport Authority (RTA).

Two policemen booked for illegal detention
Two police officers have been booked in Jaranwala Saddar police station on charges of illegal detention and abuse of power following a complaint filed by a resident of Makuana. In her complaint, Salma Bibi stated that she was returning home with her son, Mujahid Iqbal, on a motorcycle after attending a court hearing at Magistrate Court, Saddar Jaranwala police station. When they reached Chak 119-GB, just past Main Bazaar Mosque, two cops on a motorcycle pulled up beside them and claimed that her dupatta (scarf) had gotten caught in the motorcycle's wheel. When her son stopped the motorcycle, the unidentified officers pulled out a pistol, grabbed him by the collar, assaulted him and pushed him to the ground. They snatched his mobile phone and Rs51,000 in cash before forcibly taking both of them to Saddar Jaranwala police station. The police officials locked her son in custody, impounded the motorcycle, and told her that they were taking him to the CIA Makuana for investigation. When she contacted the SHO of Saddar Jaranwala City police station, he assured her that her son would be released after questioning. However, later, the police falsely implicated her son in a robbery case and made him participate in an identification parade.
