Wafflix owner's death: autopsy raises more questions

The Karachi Police Surgeon has identified multiple serious deficiencies in the post-mortem report of Wafflix's owner Mir Raza Ali Khan and forwarded a letter to the SSP East, raising 14 objections to the report prepared on July 29, 2026.

According to the letter, the body was not X-rayed, hand swabs were not collected for gunshot residue analysis, and no chemical examination was conducted on gunpowder marks around the bullet entry wound.

Police Surgeon Dr Summaiya Syed further noted that no internal examination of the skull and neck was carried out, while the firearm injuries were neither scientifically measured nor photographed. The report also failed to provide a scientific description of the bullet entry and exit wounds.

The letter said the trajectory of the bullet through the body was not documented, forensic-standard photographs of the injuries were not available, and the nature and extent of decomposition in different parts of the body had not been adequately described.

It further pointed out that despite the body not being positively identified, no DNA sample was obtained to establish the deceased's identity.

In the communication, Dr Summaiya maintained that the post-mortem report "raises more questions than answers."

She stated that senior Sindh Police officials had been contacted several times through both group and private WhatsApp messages, but no response had been received.

Emphasising the need for a logical and scientific examination of all aspects of the sensitive case, the Police Surgeon said that if the objections could not be satisfactorily addressed, exhumation of the body should be considered.

The letter also stated that an explanation had been sought from Medico-Legal Officer Dr Usama Sheikh regarding the matter.
