The investigation into the death of 25-year-old Mir Raza has entered a new phase.
The case has remained surrounded by questions and competing claims. Raza’s family has accused police of attempting to conceal important facts.
Investigators initially considered the possibility that the young man died by suicide. The family has disputed that direction of the investigation.
The National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency was asked to obtain six months of data linked to Mir Raza.
The multi-page information has now been shared with the investigation committee. Sources said the data was also submitted to the judicial commission.
The information was provided in a format resembling call detail records. Authorities are now seeking a clearer analysis of the financial information.
NCCIA Obtains Binance Transaction Details
Police have asked the NCCIA to examine the Binance-related information. They want the findings presented in simple and understandable terms.
Sources said police lack the technical expertise needed to interpret the cryptocurrency data. The NCCIA has coding and technical specialists who can examine such information.
The analysis could help investigators determine daily transaction activity. Officials are expected to review transactions recorded during the six-month period.
The agency receives data from external sources before processing and examining it. Sources said the NCCIA is expected to provide its analysis to police soon.
A soft copy of the obtained data has already been provided to relevant authorities. The information could help investigators understand financial activity linked to the case.
Investigation Committee Reviews Digital Evidence
The investigation also involves digital devices linked to Mir Raza. The Punjab forensic laboratory previously informed the committee about difficulties accessing his iPhone.
Sources said the laboratory formally communicated that it could not access the device. The Apple Watch and iPhone will now be returned to the investigation committee.
Some screenshots and messages were recovered from the Apple Watch. However, sources said the material was not considered significant.
The committee will continue reviewing the available evidence. The digital data could provide additional information for the ongoing investigation.
Further Analysis Expected
The NCCIA obtains technical information from external sources for detailed examination. Its specialists are now expected to analyze the Binance data for investigators.
The findings may help establish the frequency and pattern of transactions. Investigators could then assess whether the financial activity has relevance to the case.
The investigation remains ongoing, and authorities have yet to announce final conclusions. Officials are expected to review the digital evidence alongside other material.
The case continues to attract attention because of questions surrounding the circumstances of Mir Raza’s death. Further findings from the digital analysis could help clarify parts of the investigation.
