Mir Raza Ali case: No influential figure being protected, says AIG

Additional Inspector General of Police, Karachi RangeAzad Khan has denied allegations that an influential person is being protected in the investigation into the murder of Mir Raza Ali, the young businessman of Karachi.

Speaking to ARY News, Azad Khan said no member of the victim’s family had so far identified anyone as a suspect.

“If there is an influential person whose name has emerged in the Mir Raza case, tell us who it is,” he said.

The senior police officer said a motive for the killing is yet to be established.

“We have not found the motive for the murder yet. We are trying to determine it, and once it is established, the investigation will move forward,” he said.

Khan also rejected claims that the government was putting pressure on investigators, saying the case was being investigated transparently.

He further said there had been no issue with summoning a doctor as part of the investigation. The doctor, he explained, was an employee of Sindh’s health department, rather than a Dubai-based official.

He also explained that the medico-legal officer (MLO) had been summoned by the investigation team, not by the chief minister.
