CBI takes over probe into death of former Punjab DGP Mohammad Mustafa’s son
Panchkula: The Central Bureau of Investigation has taken over the inquiry into the death of Aqil Akhter, son of former Punjab Director General of Police Mohammad Mustafa and former state minister Razia Sultana. Aqil was found dead in Panchkula on October 16 under circumstances that the family and police records describe as suspicious.
A CBI spokesperson said on Thursday that an FIR has been registered against Mustafa, Razia Sultana, their daughter, and daughter-in-law under Sections 103(1) and 61 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. According to The Indian Express, the agency said the case was taken over after the Haryana government recommended a central investigation.
On October 20, a complaint filed at Panchkula's Mansa Devi Complex Police Station and the Haryana Police had earlier booked the four under charges of murder and criminal conspiracy. Later the case was referred to the CBI for further inquiry, before the investigation.
According to the agency, investigators are looking into family disputes that were reportedly ongoing. Aqil had, in a video posted on social media on August 27, claimed that he had discovered a relationship between his father and his own wife, and had alleged that members of his family were planning either to harm him or implicate him in a case.
The CBI has begun collecting digital records and forensic material and is expected to question those named in the FIR, while further action will follow once preliminary evidence is reviewed.
