Police surgeon Dr Samia reports threats during Mir Raza murder inquiry

Dr Samia appeared before the commission investigating the death of Mir Raza and described the pressure she allegedly faced while defending her professional findings.

She told the commission that she had received threats and was followed by men riding a motorcycle for two days.

The police surgeon also claimed that she was warned she would be treated leniently if she stated that she had committed suicide.

She further alleged that a public campaign had been launched against her in connection with the case.

The allegations have added another serious dimension to the investigation, which is examining the circumstances surrounding Mir Raza’s death and the findings presented during the inquiry.

Dr Samia says she was followed for two days

During her appearance, Dr Samia reportedly told the commission that unknown men on a motorcycle followed her for two consecutive days.

She described the incident as part of the pressure she experienced while working on the case.

The doctor also said she had received warnings connected to the findings of the investigation. According to her statement, she was allegedly told that she could receive lenient treatment if she wrote that she had taken her own life.

The claim suggests that pressure may have been applied to influence the way the case was presented or recorded.

However, the allegations remain part of Dr Samia’s testimony and would need to be examined by the commission and relevant authorities.

Doctor says she risked her career

Dr Samia told the commission that she had put her career at stake because of the Mir Raza case.

She described the matter as a test case for her professional responsibilities and said she remained committed to defending her findings.

The police surgeon also expressed concern for her family’s safety.

She reportedly said that she was more worried about the safety of her family than her own well-being.

Her statement highlights the personal pressure that can arise when medical professionals become involved in sensitive criminal investigations.

Forensic and medical findings can play an important role in murder cases, especially when questions arise about whether a death was accidental, suicidal or caused by another person.

Complaint filed with cybercrime agency

Dr Samia informed the commission that she had filed a complaint with the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency over the threats.

The complaint reportedly concerns the alleged intimidation and harassment linked to the case.

A cybercrime investigation could help determine whether threatening messages, online campaigns or other digital activities were used against her.

It may also assist authorities in identifying the individuals behind the alleged threats, if sufficient evidence is found.

The commission may review the complaint as part of its broader assessment of the pressure reportedly faced by the police surgeon.

The exact details of the complaint, including the nature of the messages or online activity, were not disclosed during the hearing.

Commission discusses security arrangements

During the hearing, members of the commission asked Dr Samia whether she required security.

She initially said that she needed police protection.

Commission head Justice Umar Sial then said he could direct the authorities to provide Rangers security if necessary.

Rangers are often deployed in sensitive security situations, particularly where there are concerns about threats, intimidation or public order.

However, Dr Samia later reiterated that she did not require security.

Her change in position was noted during the proceedings, although the reasons behind it were not explained in the available account of the hearing.

The commission may still consider whether protective measures are necessary based on the threats described in her testimony.
