Overview
- Mir Raza went missing in late July and his body was recovered days later in Gulistan‑e‑Johar, with police initially reporting a gunshot wound to the chest.
- A second post‑mortem, completed on August 8, reported acid in his stomach, lungs damaged consistent with acid exposure, and traces of acid on his shirt, hands and feet.
- Inspectors sealed a nearby guesthouse and detained multiple people — reports say six guesthouse workers were held and up to 21 people have been questioned — as investigators broaden the inquiry.
- Police have expanded the FIR to add sections 365 (abduction), 302 (murder) and 201 (evidence concealment), and the inspector general transferred case files and evidentiary notes to a new DIG‑led team for full re‑examination.
- The family, through lawyer Jibran Nasir, declined a judicial commission and asked that police continue the criminal probe, keeping public scrutiny on forensic tests, detained suspects and the handling of evidence.
