Former Gulistan-i-Jauhar station house officer Kamran Qureshi was dismissed from service on Saturday over allegations of misconduct in the Mir Raza Ali murder case. A joint investigation team recommended Qureshi for inquiry over possible evidence destruction. According to the dismissal order, Qureshi failed to secure the crime scene and did not call in the Crime Scene Unit, causing delays in forensic examination and possible loss of crucial evidence.
The inquiry officer, Muhammad Imran Khan, found Qureshi's actions to be gross misconduct, inefficiency, and dereliction of duty. Qureshi did not reply to a show-cause notice, and his oral explanation was deemed unsatisfactory. The dismissal order stated that Qureshi would be awarded major punishment for his actions.
