Medico-Legal Officer Arrested for Concealing Evidence in Dr. Shahnawaz Murder Case

In a major breakthrough in the case of Dr. Shahnawaz Kumbhar’s extrajudicial killing, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) arrested medico-legal officer Dr. Muntazir Mehdi in Mirpurkhas on Wednesday.

Authorities accuse Dr. Mehdi of tampering with the post-mortem report by deliberately concealing evidence of torture on Dr. Shahnawaz’s body. His arrest follows investigations that revealed he allegedly omitted signs of violence from the official autopsy findings.

The development is a crucial step in the high-profile case, which has drawn widespread attention due to the involvement of police officers in the alleged murder. Dr. Shahnawaz’s death, suspected to be a case of custodial torture, has sparked demands for accountability and justice.

An FIA spokesperson confirmed the arrest and stated, “Investigations are ongoing into the role of police officers in Dr. Shahnawaz’s killing.” A case has already been registered against the accused and other suspects under charges of murder, terrorism, and custodial torture.

Authorities have indicated that further arrests are likely as the investigation progresses. The case continues to raise concerns about police misconduct and the manipulation of legal procedures to cover up extrajudicial actions.

The arrest of Dr. Mehdi underscores the seriousness of the allegations and highlights the ongoing efforts to hold all those involved accountable. With mounting pressure from human rights activists and the public, the case remains a significant test of Pakistan’s legal and investigative framework in tackling custodial violence.

As developments unfold, the investigation is expected to bring more revelations regarding the circumstances surrounding Dr. Shahnawaz’s death and the potential complicity of law enforcement officials.
