KARACHI: Police Surgeon Dr. Samia Syed has described herself as feeling helpless in connection with the Mir Ali Raza case.
In a post on her social media account on X, Dr. Samia Syed said that during her four-year tenure as Karachi’s police surgeon and head of medico-legal services, she had never felt as helpless as she does now.
She said that she had often faced obstacles while trying to find the truth and ensure justice. However, she added that the situation surrounding the current case had left her extremely exhausted.
Dr. Samia said that she had reached a point where she felt completely drained after facing repeated difficulties in her efforts to pursue the truth.
The police surgeon had previously written a letter to the SP East regarding the Mir Raza case. In the letter, she reportedly pointed out serious shortcomings in the post-mortem report prepared by Dr. Osama Sheikh.
The concerns raised by Dr. Samia have brought further attention to the medico-legal aspects of the case, particularly the preparation and accuracy of the post-mortem report.
A post-mortem report can play an important role in a criminal investigation because it provides medical findings that may help investigators and the courts understand the circumstances surrounding a person’s death.
Dr. Samia’s latest remarks indicate her frustration with the difficulties she says she has encountered while attempting to ensure that the medical and legal process is properly followed.
Her statement has also raised questions about the challenges faced by medico-legal officials when dealing with sensitive and high-profile cases.
The matter is expected to remain under scrutiny as authorities consider the concerns raised about the post-mortem report and the wider investigation into the Mir Raza case.
