HYDERABAD, Oct 30: Father of Naveed Ahmed Shaikh who was found dead in Al-Amna Complex in Cantonment area on Monday, has thrown into question post-mortem report of his son issued by senior medico-legal section of the Hyderabad Civil Hospital and called for formation of a medical board to verify contents of the report.

Bashir Ahmed Shaikh, deputy registrar of the Sukkur bench of the Sindh High Court, submitted an application to the director general of health services Sindh on Thursday, stating that the doctors had issued a post-mortem report, which was in clear violation of settled principles of medical jurisprudence.

The body of hid son Naveed Ahmed, 23, was sent to Civil Hospital for autopsy after he was murdered on Oct 27, he said.

He said that the report says that the size of injury at the entry point of the bullet is two centimetre in diameter whereas the diameter of the exit point of the bullet is one centimetre.

“According to medical jurisprudence, the diameter of entry point of the bullet wound should be smaller than the exit point of the wound,” he claimed.

He said that the report mentions cartridge while his son was killed by a 30 bore pistol and not by any cartridge containing pellets. Had the murder been done by a cartridge containing pellets then the doctors must have found a few pellets in the wound. No pellets were found by any doctor, hence the use of cartridge was out of question.

He alleged that the certificate issued by the doctors favoured the accused nominated in the FIR for reasons best known to them. Therefore, a medial board should be constituted to remove this ambiguity, he stressed.

Naveed Shaikh was found dead on Oct 27 in mysterious circumstances on the seventh floor of Al-Amna Complex in Cantonment area in the limits of Makki Shah police station.

He originally belonged to Sukkur and lived temporarily elsewhere in the city.

According to reports, Naveed had fallen in love with a girl, Shagufta Ansari, who lived on the seventh floor of Al-Amna Complex, and he disliked her closeness to a Jordanian, Mohammad, who lived on the same floor.

Police have arrested both the accused but they are still clueless to whether the death is a suicide or murder.
