  "account": "On Monday, the sample analysis report of 25-year-old deceased Mir Raza Ali revealed gunshot residue (GSR) on his chest, back wounds, and the skin of both his hands, according to a Dawn report. Raza, a young entrepreneur and owner of Wafflix eatery, had gone missing on July 28 and his body was discovered a day later in bushes in Gulistan-i-Jauhar. The case was registered after his disappearance, following a dispute about his initial autopsy, exhumation, and a second postmortem. The second post-mortem examination disclosed multiple injuries and a congealed black substance in his mouth and throat. Samples collected during the exhumation were sent for forensic analysis at Karachi University’s ICCBS. One report, dated August 17, found GSR on swabs from Raza’s chest and back wounds, the skin of both hands, and the hands themselves. However, no sedative, psychotropic, narcotic, or poisonous substances were detected on his forehead, cotton face covering, right foot, soil above or below his grave, nasopharynx swab, mouth swab, or his right hand skin. Another report, dated August 11, noted perforations on Raza’s shirt, with a larger defect on the front portion (35.37mm) compared to the back portion (6.99mm). The report also identified traces of bupivacaine, an amide-type local anaesthetic, in his blood and traces of acid on his shirt, but no detectable traces of sedative, psychotropic, narcotic, or poisonous substances in his stomach, lungs, liver, kidney, or spleen contents.",
