Punjab Ex-DGP's Son's Death: SIT Takes Over InvestigationSaralnama

A Special Investigation Team (SIT) is probing the death of Aqeel Akhtar, son of Punjab's former DGP Mohammad Mustafa. The SIT is focusing on scientific evidence in this high-profile case. Mustafa will hold a collective prayer on in Malerkotla and answer SIT questions after. He'll cooperate fully with the investigation. The complainant, Shamsuddin Chaudhary, wants a CBI probe, doubting the Panchkula SIT. He claims police haven't seized crucial documents even after 5 days. Chaudhary refuted Mustafa's claims, showing a voter list to prove he was a neighbor. He denied seeking favors and questioned Aqeel's mental health treatment claims. The postmortem found a syringe mark on Aqeel's right arm. (Updated 23 Oct 2025, 05:16 IST; source: link)
