Former Punjab director general of police (DGP) Mohammad Mustafa’s 35-year-old son, Aakil Akhtar, died in Haryana’s Panchkula on Friday. A post-mortem examination has been conducted, and further details are expected to emerge once the report is received, a police official said.

Akhtar, who was practising as an advocate in the Punjab and Haryana High Court, is the only son of Mustafa and former Punjab cabinet minister Razia Sultana. His last rites are scheduled to be held at his ancestral village, Harda Kheri, in Uttar Pradesh’s Saharanpur, on Friday.

Akhtar is survived by his wife, a son and a daughter.
