Lawyer Jibran Nasir has said the government has acknowledged that Mir Raza's death was a murder rather than suicide, arguing that there is currently no need for a judicial commission or judicial inquiry.
Speaking to the media, Nasir welcomed the formation of a new investigation team and said the family had been given an opportunity to present its complete position and concerns.
He said the new team had recorded the parents' information and concerns in detail, while police had also been informed about the suspects and other important aspects of the case.
Nasir said the direction of the investigation would become clearer within the next three to four days.
He added that the family had written to the Chief Justice of the Sindh High Court to convey its position on the case.
The lawyer said the legal status of a judicial commission's report was different from that of investigative evidence, stressing that investigating a criminal case was the constitutional and legal responsibility of the police.
"We have full faith in the judiciary," Nasir said, adding that the family would approach the court if the new investigation team failed to conduct a transparent inquiry.
He also expressed concern over reports that DNA and other forensic samples had not reached the laboratory.
Nasir said the relevant investigation officers would have to explain the delay in sending the forensic material and warned that serious consequences could follow if negligence or mishandling of forensic evidence was established.
He said no negligence or bad faith would be tolerated in the case.
Nasir further said that the previous investigation team's insistence on the suicide theory had damaged its credibility, adding that the family had demanded a new team comprising officers with a good reputation.
The lawyer reiterated that the family currently did not see a need for a judicial commission or judicial inquiry, saying the priority should be a transparent and legally sound police investigation.
