Mir Raza murder case: Sindh govt extends judicial commission's term until Oct 15

The Sindh government has extended the term of the judicial commission formed to investigate the murder of Mir Raza Ali until October 15. The commission, headed by Sindh High Court's Justice Omar Sial, was initially constituted late August to examine the circumstances surrounding Ali's death and any negligence in the investigation.

The judicial commission adjourned proceedings on Monday after being informed of a cabinet meeting to approve the extension. The cabinet, chaired by Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah, granted the commission additional time to complete its investigation. The commission had already conducted extensive proceedings, including recording statements from dozens of witnesses.

Ali's body was found a day after he went missing on July 28, leading to controversy and accusations from his family that the police were covering up the facts. The case was later re-opened after the exhumation of Ali's body, with the final report confirming the cause of death as a gunshot wound to the back, with the entry wound on the posterior thorax and the exit wound on the anterior thorax.
