The police have reconstituted the investigation team probing the killing of 25-year-old businessman Mir Raza Ali, adding a murder charge to the existing case. Ali's body was discovered in Karachi's Gulistan-i-Jauhar on July 29, a day after he went missing on July 28. Initially, the case was based on the possibility of suicide, but a second postmortem report contradicted this, revealing that Ali had been shot in the back, which suggests murder rather than suicide.
The new team, led by Sindh Deputy IG Amir Farooqui, will conduct a comprehensive and impartial investigation into the case, examining all physical, technical, circumstantial, and forensic evidence. The family's lawyer, Jibran Nasir, has demanded the replacement of the initial investigation team, alleging that senior police officials are not genuinely interested in solving the case but rather want to humiliate, harass, and exhaust the family.
