In a chilling development in the Mustafa Amir murder case, Sahir Hasan, son of renowned actor Sajid Hasan, has made startling revelations about the narcotics trade in Karachi.
Currently under arrest and on physical remand, Sahir has admitted to his involvement in the drug trade and disclosed how college and university students order narcotics through smartphone applications.
Sahir Hasan revealed that students from colleges and universities use mobile apps like Snapchat to place orders for narcotics, which are then delivered to specific locations. While denying allegations of directly supplying drugs to educational institutions, Sahir admitted that he and his associates befriend students, who then become addicted to narcotics.
“Initially, only a few students buy narcotics, but the circle expands across universities and colleges,” Sahir reportedly said during the investigation.
The suspect also confessed to selling weed for two years and operating the entire drug business through Snapchat. He sourced narcotics from individuals named Bazil and Yahya and smuggled drugs worth millions using courier companies.
According to SSP Shoaib Memon, two major groups dominate Karachi’s narcotics trade: one smuggles drugs from California, while the other deals in Iranian narcotics. The police have intensified their crackdown on these groups, focusing on the Iranian narcotics network.
The arrest of key suspects, including Sahir Hasan, has reportedly disrupted the narcotics trade in Karachi, making drugs less accessible to users.
Sahir Hasan also disclosed the names of prominent businessmen, politicians, and other individuals allegedly linked to the drug trade. He admitted to transferring drug payments online through his father Sajid Hasan’s manager’s bank account.
The son of Sajid Hasan, who has been a model for five years and addicted to weed for 13 years, confessed to his role in smuggling and selling narcotics.
The investigation into the murder of Mustafa Amir has brought the narcotics trade into sharp focus. Mustafa, a young man from Karachi, was kidnapped and allegedly murdered by his friends on January 6 in Karachi’s Defence Housing Authority (DHA).
According to police, the suspects stuffed Mustafa’s body in the trunk of his car and set it on fire in the Hub area of Balochistan.
Two suspects, Armaghan and Shiraz, are currently in custody, and their physical remand has been extended by five days by an Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) in Karachi. The court has also directed authorities to conduct medical checkups of the accused and submit a progress report at the next hearing.
The National Assembly’s Standing Committee on Interior has taken notice of the case, issuing a summons to the IG of Sindh to appear before the committee on February 28, 2025. The committee has requested a detailed report on the case, including information about the suspects and the drug trade.
The case continues to develop, with authorities under pressure to crack down on the networks involved and bring justice to Mustafa Amir’s family.
