The one-member judicial commission examining the death of young businessman Mir Raza Ali has been granted an extension until October 15, according to Aaj News. The commission, which had its one-month term expire on September 27, is led by Sindh High Court Justice Omar Sial. The extension comes after the commission adjourned proceedings until October 2 to complete statements from remaining witnesses and finalize its report.
The commission has raised questions over evidence handling, the performance of the initial investigation team, discrepancies in the first post-mortem, and the constitution of medical boards. They expressed concern over the handling of CCTV footage and questioned the circumstances leading to the crime scene being set on fire. The commission has also examined alleged discrepancies in Mir Raza's first post-mortem report, with police surgeon Dr Summaiyya Syed highlighting deficiencies.
The family of Mir Raza Ali, who went missing on July 28, 2026, and whose body was recovered the next day, has stated they will seek the formation of an empowered joint investigation team to identify and arrest those responsible, citing shortcomings in the police investigation.
