The exhumation of Mir Raza Ali's body, a 25-year-old businessman and Institute of Business Administration graduate, has been postponed after his family objected to the reconstitution of the medico-legal board. Ali's body was discovered in bushes in Karachi's Gulistan-i-Jauhar following his disappearance on July 28, with his family convinced that he was kidnapped, tortured, and murdered.
Despite his family's presence at the cemetery, the exhumation was halted due to their rejection of the newly-formed board, with counsel Jibran Nasir accusing authorities of attempting to conceal facts and holding the police, health ministry, and Sindh government responsible for the delay. Nasir claims that the backdated notification for the reconstitution was issued by the Hyderabad health director general, and now alleges that additional members may be added to the board, despite the original board's qualifications and intentions being questioned.
