The exhumation of young Karachi trader Mir Raza Ali is proceeding today, August 8, 2026, as scheduled.
The Sindh government has restored the original medical board for the exhumation of trader Mir Raza Ali's body. This decision came after a day of uncertainty and objections from Raza's family regarding the abrupt reconstitution of the board. The exhumation, initially planned for Friday, August 7, 2026, is now scheduled for Saturday, August 8, 2026.
The original eight-member board, with Police Surgeon Dr. Summaiya Syed as convener, includes Prof. Dr. Naseem Ahmed, Dr. Farah Waseem, Amir Hassan Khan, Additional Police Surgeon Dr. Sirichand, Dr. Kamran Khan, Dr. Daniyal Mirza, and Dr. Mohammed Yaseen.
The planned exhumation of young Karachi trader Mir Raza Ali has been postponed due to a dispute over the composition of the medical board assigned to the task.
The family of Mir Raza has refused to permit the grave exhumation, citing objections to changes made to the board. Mir Raza's father, Mir Hussain, stated that the exhumation will not be allowed until the original medical board is reinstated.
The family's lawyer, Jibran Nasir, has sent emergency legal notices to the Police Surgeon Karachi and the provincial Health Secretary. The family demands that the post-mortem be conducted by the same medical board that was initially formed by the Police Surgeon on a court order.
The lawyer stated that the changes to the board have increased the family's concerns, suggesting it may be an act of 'bad faith' intended to suppress facts. He also questioned the composition of the new board.
Meanwhile, the DG Health Services has issued a notification for the formation of a third medical board, giving the Police Surgeon the authority to include members of his choice. Reports also suggest the first and second boards were merged.
In a related development, blood evidence found at the scene has been sent for forensic analysis, with a report expected in a few days.
Reports indicate that the investigation team in the Mir Raza case has been changed suddenly.
The exhumation of young Karachi businessman Mir Raza, scheduled for Friday, was postponed after authorities constituted a third medical board to oversee the procedure. A fresh notification for this board has been issued. According to Mir Raza’s family lawyer, Jibran Nasir, the new board merges members from the first and second medical boards, and the family does not accept this third notification either. The magistrate was also informed of the family's non-acceptance.
Nasir alleged that these changes caused further delays in the exhumation process and that those responsible for alleged irregularities had managed to delay the procedure. He also claimed that only selective footage of the incident was being shown. Separately, a bullet casing was reportedly recovered after the family approached the court. Meanwhile, several members of the previous medical board arrived at the cemetery, reportedly unaware of the latest notification, while two members of the newly constituted board did not reach the site, preventing the exhumation from taking place despite preparations being complete.
