In a statement shared on social media, advocate Mohammad Jibran Nasir said the family had received information from “credible sources” suggesting that efforts were being made to change members of the medical board, including the removal of the Police Surgeon Karachi.
🚨ALARMING🚨 We've learnt from credible sources that undue pressure is being applied to change members of the board including removing Police Surgeon Karachi. Our Application in Court specifically prayed for Pol Surgeon Khi to head the board and Court allowed application as is.. https://t.co/jy0O8EMdyv

Nasir said the family’s application before the court had specifically requested that the Police Surgeon Karachi head the medical board, and the court approved the request in its original form.

“Any attempt to change the constitution of the board and remove the Police Surgeon Karachi as its head will be seen not only as malicious to hide the truth but also as contempt of court,” he said.
He added that the family would not consent to the exhumation if it was carried out by a newly constituted or different medical board than the one approved by the court.
Lawyer backs Police Surgeon
The lawyer said the Police Surgeon Karachi had played a significant role in highlighting alleged deficiencies in the original post-mortem examination and had raised important forensic questions that warranted a detailed investigation.

He said the fresh examination should focus on establishing the actual cause of death rather than reaching premature conclusions.
“The family expresses full faith in her,” Nasir said while referring to the Police Surgeon Karachi.
Court had ordered fresh forensic examination
Earlier in the day, the Judicial Magistrate (East) approved the family’s request to exhume Mir Raza Ali’s body and directed the Sindh Health Secretary and Police Surgeon Karachi to constitute a medico-legal board comprising senior forensic experts and pathologists.
The court also ordered that the fresh examination include a complete post-mortem, DNA testing, X-rays, chemical analysis and other necessary forensic procedures to scientifically determine the cause of death.

Mir Raza Ali, owner of Karachi-based food business Wafflix, was found dead in Gulistan-e-Jauhar after being reported missing.
His family has consistently challenged the findings of the initial post-mortem and maintains that he was murdered.
The court-ordered exhumation and fresh forensic examination are expected to play a crucial role in determining the circumstances surrounding his death.
