The commission's head, Justice Omar Sial, noted that the minister's assurances and the government's cooperation would continue uninterrupted.

The commission had previously criticized the Sindh AG's intervention during the previous hearing, stating that it had added fuel to the controversy and was humiliating for the panel. Lanjar apologized to the panel, affirming that the government wanted justice for everyone and was saddened by the loss suffered by the family.
The commission ordered several individuals to appear before it at the next hearing on September 14, including Dr Summaiya Syed, Ferozabad Station House Officer Adeel Afzal, and Gulistan-i-Jauhar police station Head Moharir Zeeshan. The commission also received responses to a show-cause notice from a Medico-Legal Officer and a request from citizens to share any information that could help in the case.
