Karachi investigators are questioning up to 35 individuals who had contact with Mir Raza Ali, the victim of a recent murder case. DSP Siraj Lashari, the newly appointed investigating officer, informed a judge about this on Saturday. Raza Ali, a young businessman, disappeared on July 28 and was found dead the following day in a Gulistan-i-Jauhar bush.
DSP Lashari appeared in court seeking more time to file a progress report, as he had only recently taken over the case. He stated that no one has been named as an accused yet, and the investigation is still ongoing. The police aim to conclude the case and collect forensic and medical reports. The court granted DSP Lashari additional time to complete the investigation and file a progress report by August 24.
Additionally, a judge extended the interim pre-arrest bail of Mir Raza Ali's business partner, Muhammad Ahmed Bhardey, until August 24. His counsel argued that the police were harassing his client, who might be arrested despite cooperating fully. The judge questioned why Bhardey sought bail if he hadn't been named as an accused. The court emphasized that Bhardey must attend the investigation, even if he remains on bail, and ordered him not to leave the city during the investigation.
