Prime Suspect in Mustafa Amir Murder Case Stole Rs. 17 Billion Through Phishing Scams

The main suspect in the Mustafa Amir murder case, Armaghan Qureshi, ran an illegal call center and stole Rs. 17 billion through phishing scams over three years, officials told a National Assembly subcommittee. The money was funneled through 40 bank accounts under his employees’ names, reported a news daily. The prime suspect and his team posed as American officials. They tricked foreign nationals into revealing their credit card details. Investigators retrieved key evidence from his personal laptop. Lawmakers criticized delays, the raid on the suspect’s house, and the failure to record his confession. They also questioned the courier services’ role in drug trafficking and the involvement of the suspect’s uncle, a serving police officer. The subcommittee demanded that authorities must submit reports in the next session. The final committee meeting will be held after Eid.
