Post-mortem of Mir Raza Ali completed, initial report expected around 6pm

KARACHI: All procedures related to the post-mortem of young businessman Mir Raza have been completed as part of efforts to solve the mystery surrounding his death.

The initial report is expected to be released around 6pm.

Members of the medical board, Mir Raza’s family members, and his lawyer Jibran Nasir were present at Society Cemetery during the exhumation.

The police surgeon, head of the identification project, and a magistrate were also present at the cemetery. Strict security arrangements were made on the occasion.

A member of the medical board said that all procedures related to Mir Raza’s post-mortem had been completed.

Various samples were collected from the body, which will be sent for chemical analysis. Legal proceedings are now being completed.

Speaking to media, Mir Raza’s father, Mir Hussain, said that he was satisfied with the exhumation process.

He expressed hope that the same issues that occurred during the previous post-mortem would not be repeated this time. He added that the family would accept whatever findings are included in the report.

He also said that an audio recording circulating in connection with his son was not Mir Raza’s voice and that the recording was being circulated as part of an attempt to undermine the case.

It may be recalled that Mir Raza’s family had rejected a five-member medical board, following which the government reinstated the previous medical board.
