A judicial magistrate in Karachi has granted more time to the investigation officer (IO) in the illegal call centre case involving Armaghan, the prime suspect in the Mustafa Amir murder case.
Armaghan stands accused of running an illegal call centre in DHA, Karachi, linked to serious offences like phishing, spoofing, harassment, and financial extortion.
The investigating officer, Ameer Ali Khoso, told the court he had not obtained all necessary records and thus could not file the charge-sheet as required under Section 173 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC).
The magistrate accepted his request and directed that the charge-sheet be submitted without fail on the next hearing.

Earlier, the IO revealed that Armaghan had operated under dummy names since 2018, impersonating foreign agencies to extract victims’ financial details.
He allegedly used this stolen data to buy cryptocurrency and drugs via the Dark Web.
Armaghan maintained multiple digital wallets like Binance, BitGo, Paxful, NoOnes, and Coinbase. He also used third-party bank accounts under aliases like Rahim Bux, Abdul Rahim, and Muhammad Hanif to transfer and withdraw crime proceeds.
“He further disclosed using third-party local bank accounts under the names of Rahim Bux, Abdul Rahim and Muhammad Hanif for transferring and withdrawing proceeds of crime,” the IO said.
The suspect reportedly confessed to using illegal crypto mining rigs and participating in an organised cybercrime ring.
