India, Oct. 22 -- A former Punjab director general of police, Mohammad Mustafa, has been booked by the Haryana Police along with his wife - former minister Razia Sultana - in connection with the murder of their 35-year-old son Aqil Akhtar earlier this month.

Police earlier said Aqil Akhtar was found unconscious by his family at his Sector 4 house in the Mansa Devi Complex area of Punjab's Panchkula on October 16.

The FIR was filed by a Malerkotla resident - Shamshudeen Chaudhary - on October 17, citing a social media post by Aqil in August.
