The judicial commission established to investigate the murder of Mir Raza Ali issued notices for Friday, announced the spokesperson on Thursday. The 25-year-old businessman, found dead with a gunshot wound in Gulistan-i-Jauhar, had been missing for a day before his body was discovered. Despite initial skepticism, the provincial government decided to form the commission after objections from Ali's family.
The commission's head, Justice Omar Sial, issued notices to the family, the Sindh government representative, and Ali's lawyer, Jibran Nasir. Ali disappeared from his home in PECHS, Block-2, on July 28, and his body with gunshot wounds was found in bushes near the University of Karachi on July 29. The Ferozabad police registered a case under PPC sections 365, 302, and 201.
The Sindh government's decision to form the commission faced opposition from Ali's family, who filed a petition in the Sindh High Court seeking a joint investigation team instead. The family claimed that the commission would not be impartial and that an independent, multi-agency team with senior officers uninvolved in the case should be appointed.
