KARACHI: The Joint Investigation Team (JIT) constituted to probe the high-profile murder of Mir Raza convened its maiden session on Wednesday, officially recording the detailed statement of the deceased’s father as investigators work to establish the precise timeline of events leading up to the tragic incident.

The victim’s father provided crucial details regarding potential motives and suspicious occurrences preceding the murder, appealing to authorities for an exhaustive and transparent investigation to ensure swift justice.

The formation of the high-level JIT highlights the increasing administrative pressure and public demand for strict accountability in serious violent crimes across the province. Police officials assured that all modern investigative avenues, including geo-fencing, call detail records (CDRs), and digital forensics, are being fully leveraged to identify all individuals involved in the conspiracy and execution of the crime.

The investigation panel has directed field officers to gather additional physical evidence and submit an updated progress report within forty-eight hours.
