ISLAMABAD — In a startling development, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has revealed that Armaghan, the prime suspect in the murder of Mustafa Amir, was involved in a wide range of criminal activities, including money laundering, cryptocurrency fraud, and drug trafficking.

According to the interim challan submitted by the FIA to the Anti-Terrorism Court, Armaghan operated a call centre through which he earned an estimated $300,000 to $400,000 per month. These earnings were reportedly transferred into cryptocurrency to obscure the origin of the funds.
