KARACHI: Police on Wednesday did not rule out the possibility of exhuming the body of former IBA student Mir Raza Ali after a controversy emerged between the police surgeon and investigators over alleged loopholes in the medico-legal report regarding the post-mortem examination.
While the family of Mir Raza is convinced that their son was kidnapped, tortured and murdered, investigators probing the incident continue to build their case around the possibility that he died by suicide, claiming they have uncovered significant evidence that sheds light on the 25-year-old’s mental state.
The aspiring businessman’s body, bearing a gunshot wound to his chest, was recovered from bushes near Shahi Qila in Gulistan-i-Jauhar, opposite the University of Karachi, two days after he went missing from his home in PECHS last month.
Earlier on Tuesday, Police Surgeon Dr Summaiya Syed had told a private news channel that the post-mortem findings had raised several questions, as some observations in the report did not appear to match the available photographs.
