Sindh forms judicial commission on Mir Raza Ali death

The Sindh government has decided to form a judicial commission to investigate the death of young businessman Murder of Mir Raza Ali, who was found dead in Karachi's Gulistan-e-Jauhar on July 29 after going missing a day earlier. The government has written to the Chief Justice of the International — High court requesting the formation of the commission, which will have powers of a civil court under the Sindh Tribunals of Inquiry Ordinance, 1969. The commission will review the investigation, examine evidence, and determine whether any police officer, medico-legal officer, or other official committed negligence, misconduct, or suppression of evidence. It is expected to submit its report within 30 days. The family, represented by lawyer Mohammad Jibran Nasir, opposes the judicial commission and demands a joint investigation team (JIT) instead, planning to challenge the decision in the International — High court. Sindh police have issued a formal statement saying the investigation is ongoing, with forensic analysis of the victim's phone and smartwatch underway. The case has drawn public attention and calls for justice.
