The first meeting of the Joint Investigation Team (JIT), formed to investigate the murder of Mir Raza Ali in Karachi, concluded after five hours.
During the meeting, the detailed statement of Mir Raza Ali’s father was recorded. Advocate Jibran Nasir also called for a thorough investigation into the role of the SHO of Ferozabad Police Station and other individuals allegedly linked to the case.
The meeting was chaired by DIG Irfan Baloch and attended by representatives of various security agencies. The participants also reviewed the Judicial Commission’s report and evidence collected so far.
Speaking to the media after the meeting, Advocate Jibran Nasir said that all concerns had been presented before the JIT. He added that Mir Raza’s family was ready to appear before the investigation team whenever required.
He further stated that Mir Raza Ali’s father, who is also the complainant in the case, had recorded a detailed statement. The statement highlighted alleged negligence on the part of certain police officers.
Advocate Jibran Nasir said that letters would be sent to the Establishment Division and the Chief Minister of Sindh on Monday. He expressed hope that significant progress in the investigation would be made within the next two weeks.
He also raised concerns over a separate committee formed to investigate the role of certain police officers, stating that 10 to 15 days had passed without any information about its progress.
He pointed out that the officers concerned had neither been removed from their positions nor had the concerns previously shared with the inquiry committee been taken seriously.
Nasir further demanded an investigation into the role of Mir Raza Ali’s business partner and police officers connected to the case. He emphasized that the family wanted the perpetrators brought to justice and supporting evidence presented against them.
He specifically called for a detailed investigation into the role of the SHO of Ferozabad Police Station, as well as Ahmed and Abdullah Bharde, in connection with the case.
