Father-Wife Affair, Alleged Murder Plot: Shocking Claims by Ex-Punjab DGP’s Son Aqil Akhtar Before Death

The death of Aqil Akhtar, son of Punjab’s former Director General of Police Mohammad Mustafa and ex-minister Razia Sultana, has taken a dramatic turn, leading to the arrest of the ex-top cop and his wife.

Aqil, a 35-year-old advocate, was found dead at his Panchkula residence in Haryana on October 16. Initially, the police ruled out foul play and handed over his body to the family after a post-mortem. However, the case was reopened after social media posts and videos allegedly made by Aqil surfaced, in which he spoke of threats to his life.

Allegations in Aqil’s Videos

• Threats from Family: Aqil claimed in one video that his father, mother, and sister were conspiring to frame him in a false case, potentially imprison or even kill him. “I feel they will frame me in a false case… Their plan is to have me falsely imprisoned or even killed, but they are unable to have their way,” he said.

• Father-Wife Affair: Aqil alleged he was under immense mental stress after discovering a supposed affair between his father, Mustafa, and his wife.

• Mother and Sister’s Involvement: He accused his mother Razia Sultana and sister of being part of the conspiracy. Razia is a former minister in Punjab’s previous Congress government, while Mustafa is a retired 1985-batch IPS officer who served as Punjab DGP (Human Rights).

• Portraying Him as Mentally Unstable: Aqil claimed his family tried to establish a false narrative about him being delusional, saying, “They are trying to establish a false narrative.”

• Retraction and Mental Health: In another video, Aqil appeared to retract his statements, attributing his previous claims to schizophrenia. “I was suffering from schizophrenia… I am better now. I want to say sorry. Thank God I am blessed with such a family,” he said. Yet the video concluded with him questioning, “Will they get me killed? They are all scoundrels.”

Family Response

The family has described Aqil as mentally unstable, alleging he had been undergoing treatment after becoming “psychotic.” Razia Sultana accused individuals with “dirty political motives” of exploiting the tragedy by filing false complaints.

Mustafa Responds

Mohammad Mustafa welcomed the FIR registration but denied any wrongdoing. “It is the duty of police to register an FIR upon receiving a written complaint. FIR registration does not mean anyone is guilty; it only marks the beginning of the investigation. The truth will come out soon… The family will not bow down to those indulging in cheap politics,” he said.

The case remains under investigation as authorities continue to probe the circumstances surrounding Aqil Akhtar’s death and the allegations made against his family.
