In a video message recorded in the detention of the Anti-Violent Crime Cell (AVCC), Kamran Qureshi said that he did everything in his power to get justice for his son, Armaghan.

“If, in the process, I inadvertently hurt any media personnel, forgive me for the sake of God.”

Earlier on Thursday, Kamran Qureshi has been revealed as the facilitator who purchased modern weapons for his son Armaghan, prime suspect in the Mustafa Amir Murder case.
