Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah has assured the family of Mir Raza Ali that a fair investigation will be conducted, with any lapses by police and medico-legal authorities being addressed after the case is resolved. The CM clarified that a judicial commission has been formed solely to identify any shortcomings in the police and medico-legal agencies, not to investigate the murder itself.
The family initially agreed to the formation of the commission, but later declined, and their wishes were respected. Traces of acid and gunshot residue were found on Mir Raza Ali's shirt during the first and second post-mortem examinations, respectively. Additional police officials have been added to the investigation team, and the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) has summoned four individuals in connection with alleged false and malicious content on social media.
The agency has requested the presence of Syed Abdullah, Amin Qureshi, Bilal Warsi, and Obaid Qureshi at their Karachi office on August 13th, 2026, at 11:30am.
