“The investigation team probing the matter should be replaced,” he demanded and said that despite  being a high profile case, the postmortem report into the matter is yet to be prepared.

“The samples sent to ascertain the cause of the journalist’s death were returned from a Rohri lab without examination,” he said adding that the police has now conveyed to them that the sample would now be sent to Karachi for preparing a postmortem report.

It is pertinent to mention here that President Mehrabpur Press Club Aziz Memon was strangulated to death on Sunday in Sindh’s district of Naushero Feroze.

According to police, the journalist was found dead and initially, the probe found that he was strangulated using a wire.
