Mir Raza's Death Reclassified as Murder Sparks Questions About Forensic Handling and Crime Scene Preservation.

The Express Tribune reports that the death of Mir Raza, owner of a Karachi-based dessert chain, was reclassified as murder. The change followed a second post‑mortem conducted after the family forced an exhumation of the body. The second examination revealed a rear‑entry gunshot wound and fractures consistent with torture that the first post‑mortem missed. Police said the crime scene was not preserved, and the Home Minister admitted this oversight. Two officers involved in the investigation have been suspended. The case illustrates that public pressure and family persistence were required to reach a new conclusion. The Sindh government ultimately decided against forming a judicial commission to probe the case. The Express Tribune notes that the state must address unanswered questions about forensic procedures and possible collusion.
