Panchkula FIR names former Punjab DGP Mohammad Mustafa, wife Razia Sultana and others after son Aqil Akhtar found dead; SIT formed, probe into alleged conspiracy underway.

A high-voltage investigation is underway in Panchkula after 35-year-old Aqil Akhtar was found unconscious at his Sector 4 residence on the night of October 16 and later declared dead on arrival at Civil Hospital, Sector 6. The case took a dramatic turn after a social-media post by Aqil — and a diary screenshot shared with police — prompted a citizen complaint and led Haryana Police to register an FIR on October 17. The first information report names former Punjab DGP (human rights) Mohammad Mustafa, his wife Razia Sultana, Aqil’s sister and wife, alleging illicit relations and a conspiracy to harm or implicate Aqil.
Authorities have formed a five-member Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the allegations with “an open mind,” says the deputy commissioner of police. The FIR cites sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita related to murder and criminal conspiracy; investigators plan to examine Aqil’s social posts, the diary, call records, digital footprints and the post-mortem report to establish motive and sequence. Family sources and the accused counter that Aqil struggled with drug addiction and mental-health issues — the former DGP described prior rehab admissions and past self-harm — and called for a fair probe without prejudice.
