The Judicial Commission formed to probe the murder of a Karachi youth, Mir Raza, on Wednesday called his two business partners, two friends, an online car driver and two police officials tomorrow for questioning. Summons were issued to business partners Muhammad Ahmad and Abdullah, Abdur Razzaq and Haseem (friends), an online car driver, Ihsan, and SDPO Sharae Faisal and SHO Ferozeabad. The final medical and forensic report following the exhumation of Mir Raza's body had concluded that the available evidence regarding his death is inconsistent with the claim of suicide.

According to the opinion of the exhumation board, a bullet entered Mir Raza's body from the back and exited through his chest.  The bullet fractured his sixth rib, damaged a lung and ruptured his heart, resulting in severe internal injuries. The final medical findings concluded that Mir Raza died as a result of the gunshot wound and the subsequent rupture of his heart. The forensic examination also found bullet holes on both the back and front portions of his shirt.

According to the report, a higher quantity of gunshot residue was detected around the hole on the back of the shirt. Gunshot residue was also detected in samples collected from both hands and the wounds, the forensic report said. Meanwhile, blood analysis revealed the presence of a small quantity of an anesthetic substance. However, no identifiable traces of other intoxicating or poisonous substances were found.
