The Sindh Inspector General of Police (IGP) Javed Alam Odho has expressed hope that the newly formed investigation team would approach the case with an open mind and heart, following the murder of business owner Mir Raza Ali. Ali, an owner of eatery Wafflix, went missing on July 28 and was found dead with a gunshot wound in Karachi's Gulistan-i-Jauhar on July 29.
His body was exhumed and subjected to a second post-mortem, which revealed multiple injuries and a gunshot wound to the back, ruling out suicide. The new investigation team obtained records from the previous team and met with the family and their lawyer, Jibran Nasir, to discuss the circumstances surrounding Ali's murder. DIG Crime and Investigation Amir Farooqi stated that the police would keep the family informed of all steps being taken to solve the case.
The Sindh Home Minister, Ziaul Hassan Lanjar, previously deferred the decision on the formation of a judicial commission to probe the case, but has now indicated that it has been kept under consideration.
