Sindh home minister apologises 'unconditionally' to Mir Raza's judicial commission
Assures Justice Sial of the government's full cooperation and abstention from future interventions
Sindh Home Minister Ziaul Hassan Lanjar apologized unconditionally before the judicial commission investigating the death of Mir Raza Ali on Thursday, following the chairman's serious reservations about a government lawyer's intervention during the proceedings. Lanjar stated that the government is accountable for ensuring security and justice for the people of Sindh and assured the commission of the provincial government's full cooperation.
The commission was formed to investigate the murder of young entrepreneur Raza, whose body was found in bushes near a wedding hall in Gulistan-e-Johar on July 29. Initially, the case was uncertain whether Raza was murdered or died due to suicide, but a second post-mortem confirmed the family's claim of murder. During the last hearing, the commission strongly reprimanded Sindh Advocate General Jawad Dero for interrupting proceedings and objecting to the victim's family lawyer, Jibran Nasir, questioning a key witness.
The home minister assured the commission of the government's full cooperation and pledged to provide all assistance and evidence required for the inquiry.
