Mir Raza judicial commission submits report to Sindh government

KARACHI: The judicial commission investigating the death of Mir Raza Ali Khan has submitted its report to the Sindh government, completing a key stage in the inquiry into the young man’s death.

The commission’s registrar handed over the report to Additional Secretary Home Javed Abro, according to official information.

Sources said the report comprises seven sealed envelopes and includes recorded statements of witnesses. The contents of the report have not been made public.

The judicial commission completed its proceedings on October 7 after holding 15 sessions, including a visit to the site connected with the case.

The Sindh government issued the notification establishing the commission on August 24, and it began its work on August 27. The provincial Home Department had directed the commission to complete its proceedings within one month.

Mir Raza Ali Khan, a young resident of Karachi, went missing from the Pakistan Employees Cooperative Housing Society (PECHS) on July 28. He reportedly left home at 4:09am in an online taxi.

His body was found in Gulistan-e-Jauhar two days later, prompting an investigation into the circumstances surrounding his disappearance and death.

The provincial government subsequently formed the judicial commission to examine the case. Its report has now been submitted to the Sindh government for further consideration.
