Re‑postmortem of Mir Raza Ali reveals gunshot wound, undermining suicide theory, supporting family’s murder claim.

The re‑postmortem of Mir Raza Ali, conducted after his exhumation, revealed a firearm entry wound on the upper right side of his back and an exit wound on the left side of his chest. The bullet caused a fracture of the sixth rib and internal bleeding, the report states. The examination also recorded multiple ante‑mortem injuries to the head, face, neck and chest, and an injury on the thumb of the right foot. The medical board concluded that all these wounds were sustained before death. Family lawyer Jibran Nasir told reporters that the post‑mortem showed "important evidence" and had collected 17 samples for forensic analysis. He emphasised that the injuries were visible on different parts of the body, including the face, and that dark‑coloured material was found up to the throat. Nasir also accused the police of having pressured the family to accept a suicide narrative. He said investigators had repeatedly asked family members to sit for hours at a police office and pushed them to accept suicide as the explanation. Mir Raza’s father, Mir Hassan, echoed these concerns, saying the family had insisted from August 30 that his son was murdered, but police had pressed them toward a suicide verdict. He called for a transparent, impartial investigation. An audio message recorded hours before Mir Raza’s death has also come to light, in which he discusses financial matters. Investigating authorities are examining the recording for relevance to the case.
