• Mohammad Mustafa hails from district Panchkula, Haryana.

• In an interview, Mohammad Mustafa mentioned that in his early posting, he had served in all the border districts of Punjab.

• When he was posted as Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) in Patiala, he got married to Razia Sultana.

• In February 2019, when he was serving as the head of the anti-drug Special Task Force, he asked the Punjab government to relieve him from his post because he felt a junior officer had been appointed as the DGP ahead of him.

• In response to this, the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) in May 2019 said that Mustafa had “inadequate” experience in “core policing areas” in the last 10 years, and that was why his name was left out of the panel for Punjab’s top police post.

• Along with civil service, he was also involved in politics and has been a visible figure in elections in Malerkotla, where he was seen supporting his wife in her electoral campaigns.

• He has been a very visible figure in elections in the Malerkotla area (Punjab), supporting his wife’s electoral campaigns and often dominating the local “Malerkotla House” as a political base.

• In early 2022, Mohammad was booked under section 153A and section 125 of the Indian Penal Code for a speech he gave in Malerkotla, where he was charged that his speech could promote hatred between political groups in Punjab.

• In August 2025, Mustafa’s son, Aqil Akhtar, who was an advocate at the Punjab and Haryana High Court, made an allegation against him that his wife and his father had an affair. In the video, he said,

I (Aqil Akhtar) have discovered my wife’s affair with my dad (Mohammad Mustafa). I am in a lot of stress and mental trauma. I don’t know what to do. I feel everyday that they will frame me in a false case.”

• After some days in another video, Aqil said that whatever allegations he had made against his family members were due to his mental illness.

“I was suffering from schizophrenia. Thanks to Allah, my family members are the way they are. I was unwell, so I did not understand anything. I am better now. I want to say sorry. Thank god I am blessed with such a family. Let’s see what happens.”

• Although his face was not visible in his second video. When it reappears, he suddenly asks,

Will they get me killed? They are all scoundrels.”

• Initially, police found no foul play in Aqil Akhtar’s death, and after the post-mortem, the police handed over the body to his family.

• On 17 October 2025, the case took a shocking turn when Shamshudeen Chaudhary, a resident of Malerkotla in Punjab, filed a complaint against Mohammad and his family. He alleged that Mohammad, his wife, their daughter, and his daughter-in-law (Aqil Akhtar’s wife) were involved in his death and had poisoned him. Shamshudeen also presented social media videos shared by Aqil Akhtar in August 2025 as evidence to support his claims.
