‘Tension between son, father’: SIT on former Punjab DGP’s son death case

ACP Vikram Nehra, head of the Special Investigation Team (SIT) in the death of former Punjab DGP Mohammad Mustafa’s son Aqil Akhtar, said that there was undoubtedly some tension between the father and the son.

“The nine police personnel who were deployed for the security of his house were questioned yesterday. Apart from this, we will also question all their house help tomorrow. Our search of the house is complete. Now we have also found the phone and laptop of the deceased. There was no doubt about the tension between the son and the father. What’s emerging is that Aqil had ideological differences with his family. He even mentioned this in the viral video. Our first priority now is to find out the cause of death. We have not yet called the family for questioning,” the SIT head told reporters.
