The body of popular televangelist and PTI MNA Aamir Liaquat will be exhumed on Thursday morning (June 23), according to a notification issued by the Sindh health department on Tuesday.
A Karachi judicial magistrate ordered authorities to conduct a post-mortem examination on the televangelist’;s body.
The statement follows court orders for the exhumation of Hussain’;s body for an autopsy in order to determine the cause of death. The televangelist’;s untimely demise on June 9 sent shockwaves across the country.
For the autopsy, a six-member medical board has been created. Dr. Summaiya Syed, a police surgeon, will chair the board.
The medical board includes additional police surgeon Shahid Nizam, Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre’;s Forensics Medicine Head of Department Pervaiz Makhdoom, medico-legal officer Dr Areeb Baqai, forensic specialist Dr Hari Ram, and Dr Gulzar Ali.
The post-mortem samples will be gathered from Hussain’;s grave in the Abdullah Shah Ghazi graveyard, without moving the mortal remains to another place.
