A fresh post-mortem examination conducted on August 9, 2026, following the exhumation of young businessman Mir Raza Ali's body, confirmed he was shot in the back, which rules out the possibility of suicide. The eight-member medical board also found multiple injuries on his head and face, and fractures on the nasal bone and skull, indicating he might have been subjected to torture before being fatally shot. Police Surgeon Dr. Summaiya Syed, who headed the board, confirmed a fractured rib on the back as the entry wound, with the bullet exiting from the front. The body also bore injuries in the right flank and feet, and a congealed black substance in the mouth and throat. Samples have been collected for forensic analysis, and the cause of death is reserved pending laboratory reports. The family lawyer has called for the investigation team to be replaced. Questions have also been raised regarding police negligence, including why a pistol shell was not found at the scene initially, how it appeared eight days later, and the lack of a forensic report for it. The role of a guest house, repeatedly mentioned by the family, and the statements of its staff, are also under scrutiny, with six guest house staff reportedly detained later.

A second post-mortem examination in the Mir Raza Ali case has reportedly confirmed key concerns regarding the circumstances of his death.

Further details from the initial medical report indicate that it provides answers to all 14 points raised by the police surgeon. Additionally, an audio leak has reportedly been revealed in connection with the Mir Raza Ali case.

KARACHI: An initial medical report following the exhumation of young Karachi businessman Mir Raza Ali has found signs of torture, broken ribs, and indicates that a fatal bullet wound was to his back, raising serious questions about the circumstances of his death.

The exhumation and subsequent post-mortem were conducted by an eight-member medical board under the supervision of a judicial magistrate. The proceedings, which took approximately four hours, were carried out after the court approved a request from the family. Samples have been collected and sent for forensic analysis.

Mir Raza Ali's father expressed satisfaction with the medical board's handling of the case. The family's lawyer, Jibran Nasir, stated that the findings point towards a "murder after torture" and credited the court for making progress that the police had not achieved in the initial days after the death.

Following the procedure, Mir Raza Ali was reburied. The case has also drawn political attention, with Defence Minister Khawaja Asif publicly questioning who may have been behind efforts to influence the post-mortem board.
