The body of Dr. Shahnawaz Kunbhar, a man wrongfully entangled in a blasphemy case, tells a story of unimaginable horror. Arrested, tortured, and then killed in what authorities call a “staged encounter” in Mirpurkhas, his lifeless form now reveals the haunting truth.
On October 16th, Dr. Kunbhar’s body was exhumed under the watchful eyes of a medical board. What they found was gut-wrenching—a man who had not simply died, but suffered deeply. His broken bones and bruised body bore witness to the brutal torment he had endured. The autopsy report spoke with chilling clarity: he had been shot, yes, but the fractures in his ribs told a darker story—of savage beatings inflicted upon him. His lower ribs had been shattered by blunt force, a cruel, deliberate assault on a man who had already been condemned.
The report, signed by the medical board, laid bare the details, confirming what his family feared. His death was not just from a bullet wound—it was the result of unrelenting torture. A man, a healer by profession, had been reduced to a victim of monstrous violence, his body mutilated and set aflame to conceal the horrors he endured.
Dr. Kunbhar’s family is consumed by grief and anger, demanding justice for the son, brother, and friend they have lost. They now question the doctors who performed the initial postmortem at District Headquarters Hospital, accusing them of a cover-up. “Who pressured them to hide this? The truth must come out,” cried Ibrahim Kunbhar, the complainant. The family’s faith in the system is shattered; the first autopsy report, which listed the cause of death as a simple bullet wound, is now a bitter reminder of betrayal. Could it be that Dr. Kunbhar was tortured to death, his suffering erased by a lie?
In their pain, the family pointed to a powerful religious figure’s involvement, alleging that Dr. Kunbhar was beaten and brutalized in his residence before being shot and left to burn. Their accusations have now led to the involvement of the Sindh Human Rights Commission, determined to bring the truth to light.
But for the Kunbhar family, no revelation can erase the cruelty their loved one suffered. Their only hope is that the truth—no matter how painful—will finally see the light of day and that Dr. Kunbhar’s soul may find the justice he was so brutally denied in life.
