The Sindh government said on Sunday it would be asking the chief justice of the provincial high court to establish a judicial commission to determine whether the investigation in the Mir Raza Ali murder case was being conducted impartially and in accordance with the law.
But, soon after the announcement, the counsel for Ali’s family raised objections and said they would approach the Sindh High Court on Monday against the decision.
The Sindh government’s decision came days after Ali’s parents approached Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah, requesting that he directly supervise the investigation.
His parents, Mir Hussain and Mariam, wrote a letter to the Sindh chief minister through their lawyer Jibran Nasir, alleging that the investigation continued to suffer as the probe team “appears to focus on perpetuating the false narrative of the death of the deceased by suicide”.
