Medico-legal board for exhumation of Mir Raza Ali's body abruptly reconstituted

The medico-legal board responsible for exhuming the body of Mir Raza Ali, a graduate of the Institute of Business Administration, has been reconstituted, according to a report from Dawn. The board, which was initially established following a court order and a petition filed by Ali's father, now includes eight members. The convener of the new board is Karachi Police Surgeon Dr Summaiya Syed, who had previously raised concerns about the post-mortem report.

The revised board members consist of Prof Dr Zakiuddin, Prof Dr Kazi Akbar, Prof Dr Abid Hussain Chang, Dr Waseem Khan, Dr Kamran Khan, Dr Daniyal Mirza, and Dr Mohammed Yaseen. The family's lawyer, Jibran Nasir, has expressed his discontent with the change in the board members, alleging that the Sindh government has acted maliciously and that the family will not consent to the exhumation.
