PANCHKULA: The post-mortem report of Aqil Akhtar, son of former Punjab Director General of Police (DGP) Mohammad Mustafa and former minister Razia Sultana, has revealed a fresh syringe mark on his right arm, deepening the mystery surrounding his death.

The report stated, "Injection prick mark reddish bluish contusion of size 3x2cm on the anteriomedial aspect of right forearm, 7 cms below the elbow joint present."

While the initial findings confirmed that Aqil was a drug addict, the report did not specify the type of drug or whether it was injected. However, forensic experts noted that his arms lacked multiple syringe marks that are commonly seen on habitual drug users, with only a single fresh mark detected on the right arm.
