KARACHI: The planned exhumation of Mir Raza Ali's body, part of an ongoing murder investigation, was postponed on Friday after his family raised objections to the composition of the medical board.

The procedure was scheduled to take place in Karachi. However, the family's concerns led to a last-minute delay.

Reports indicate that the Sindh Director General of Health Services had previously issued an office order for the exhumation to proceed. It remains unclear when a new date will be set or how the family's objections regarding the medical board will be addressed.

The medical board tasked with the exhumation of Mir Raza Ali's body has been reconstituted for a second time. While Dr. Summaiya Syed remains the convener, the new members include Prof Dr Zakiuddin, Prof Dr Kazi Akbar, Prof Dr Abid Hussain Chang, and Hyderabad Police Surgeon Dr Waseem Khan. Advocate Jibran Nasir alleged that the Sindh government "maliciously" changed the members of the board without explanation.

The planned exhumation of Mir Raza Ali's body was halted by his father, who cited an alleged overnight change in the medical board as the reason. Police teams had arrived at the PECHS graveyard for the exhumation, but Mir Raza Ali's father prevented the administration from proceeding. Advocate Jibran Nasir also commented on the situation, stating that the circumstances were serious. He questioned the authority of the Director General Health Hyderabad and the reason for the medical board's change at night. Nasir also highlighted that the investigating officer had not taken the plaintiff's statement for eight days and noted that a bullet casing, which had been missing for eight days, was found recently.

A special search team, comprising four station house officers and 40 constables, was formed to conduct a comprehensive examination of the crime scene, using metal detectors and dividing the area into sectors.

Investigators consider this a critical piece of physical evidence, expected to play a pivotal role in forensic examination, ballistic analysis, and reconstruction of the incident.
