A new investigation team, led by DIG Crime and Investigation Amir Farooqi, has begun formal proceedings into the murder of business owner Mir Raza Ali in Karachi, following the findings of a second post-mortem examination. Ali, who owned the eatery Wafflix, went missing on July 28 and was found dead with a gunshot wound in bushes in Gulistan-i-Jauhar the following day.
The family met with the new investigation team, along with their lawyer Jibran Nasir. The team reviewed the case file and obtained records from the previous team. Sindh Home Minister Ziaul Hassan Lanjar stated that the decision on a judicial commission has been deferred for now. The controversy around Ali's death stems from initial suspicions of suicide, but the latest post-mortem revealed multiple injuries and a gunshot to the back, clearing suicide as a possibility.
The new team aims to conduct the investigation more thoroughly, emphasizing transparency and communication with the family and media.
