Overview
- An eight-member medical board exhumed Mir Raza Ali’s grave and completed a re-postmortem on Saturday, collecting tissue, bone and other samples that were sealed and sent to forensic laboratories for DNA and chemical testing.
- The original eight-member panel was restored after the family objected to a prior five-member reconstitution, and the re-examination took place under a magistrate’s supervision with heavy police security.
- Medical examiners collected DNA from the remains and obtained DNA samples from Ali’s parents to confirm identity and to link any injuries to the body.
- One initial report published by media outlets cited a rear gunshot wound and marks of violence on the body, but officials say definitive conclusions will wait for lab results and a consolidated medico-legal report.
- The family’s lawyer and father said they were satisfied with the process so far and said the forensic tests could resolve disputed questions about possible police negligence and whether the death was murder or suicide.
