Shockwaves in Punjab: Former DGP and Ex-Minister Booked for Son's Murder

A shocking development has sent ripples through Punjab's political and law enforcement circles, as former Director General of Police (DGP) Mohammad Mustafa and his wife, former cabinet minister Razia Sultana, along with their daughter Fauzia Sultana and son-in-law Mohammad Furqan, have been formally accused of the murder of their son, Sikandar Mustafa.

The high-profile case emerged following an FIR registered by Sikandar's younger brother, Feroz Mustafa, on October 17, 2024.

This dramatic turn of events comes after Sikandar's body was discovered at the family's ancestral home in Malerkotla. Initially, the incident was believed to be a suicide, but subsequent investigations and Feroz's complaint have led to a more sinister conclusion, with charges of murder (Section 302 IPC) and criminal conspiracy (Section 120B IPC) now leveled against the prominent family members.

According to the FIR, the alleged motive behind the heinous crime stems from deep-seated property disputes and conflicts over political ambitions.

Sikandar Mustafa was reportedly at odds with his family regarding various assets and the direction of their political careers, creating a volatile environment that ultimately escalated to this tragic outcome.

The revelation that a former top cop and an ex-minister are embroiled in such a grave accusation has stunned the state.

Mohammad Mustafa, a decorated IPS officer, once held the highest position in the state police force, while Razia Sultana served as a powerful cabinet minister in previous Congress governments. Their daughter and son-in-law, also implicated, further compound the family's legal woes.

Authorities are now meticulously investigating the allegations, gathering evidence to uncover the full truth behind Sikandar Mustafa's untimely demise.

The case is expected to draw considerable public and media attention as it unfolds, given the stature of the accused and the severe nature of the charges, promising a complex and closely watched legal battle.
