The Mir Raza family has rejected Sindh government’s

KARACHI ( News) – The family of slain Mir Raza has rejected the Sindh government’s decision to form a judicial commission and demanded the constitution of a joint investigation team (JIT) to investigate the case.

Speaking to the media at the Sindh High Court, the family’s lawyer, Jibran Nasir, said they learned about the decision to form a judicial commission through the media and had not yet received a copy of the government’s decision.

He said a High Court judge was reportedly being nominated for the commission, while no one knew the terms of reference. Jibran Nasir said a judicial commission could provide findings, which the family did not support as the priority should be a proper investigation.

He questioned why evidence had allegedly been lost and said no action had been taken against the officials concerned. He said the family had also written to Sindh Chief Minister regarding the matter.

a JIT comprising officials from different institutions should be formed to investigate the Mir Raza case. He said the family was filing a petition in this regard, adding that the investigating officer had appeared before a magistrate but had neither nominated anyone nor indicated that a supplementary charge sheet was expected.

Jibran Nasir said that if action was being taken against the previous investigation team, the family should also be informed about it.

He said they were unaware whether any questions had been asked of the previous investigation team and were trying to obtain answers to questions that remained unresolved. He said none of the family’s 24 questions had been answered, including questions relating to geofencing and other aspects of the investigation.

He added that the family could not point fingers at any judge and had not recommended the formation of a judicial commission in its August 19 letter. The lawyer said the final footage had still not been shared with the family.

He added that footage from two cameras installed at a showroom had also not been provided, while there was still no information about the motorcycle or the Alto car involved in the case. Jibran Nasir said the matter should be properly taken towards the formation of a JIT so that the unresolved questions surrounding the investigation could be addressed.
