At that time, he said, he left the CM's House, along with three others the<br />

home secretary, IGP and the DIG, and went to the office of the home<br />

secretary from where he contacted his deputy secretary to open his office,<br />

because it was a Saturday, and the offices were closed that day. "Through the<br />

deputy secretary, I conveyed the message to the additional secretary,<br />

technical, to reconstitute the board by including the name of Dr Shah. That<br />

was how the number of doctors was increased on the board to nine and also<br />

with the inclusion of Dr Azhar," the witness said. The tribunal then asked the<br />

health secretary to bring the report on Thursday which should have been<br />

appended with the report pertaining to examination of Sial's body at the CHK<br />

mortuary on September 28, 1996.<br />

Q: Where is the other report on the basis of the first report of Sial's foot<br />

injury?<br />

A: It is correct that this report doesn't confirm the first report and there must<br />

be another report with it.<br />

Q: Everything has to be clear. Why all the medical board members who<br />

appeared before us have not made things very clear and they have kept up<br />

their sleeves and we have to pull them out?<br />

A: As far as I remember there should be another report confirming the first<br />

report on Sial's injury. The DIG was insisting to confirm the opinion by<br />

examining the body and to confirm the first report of the foot injury.<br />

The tribunal asked the health secretary to set everything right in his<br />

department because all the doctors who are coming before us are withholding<br />

the facts and they are not telling the whole truth, it has to be extracted from<br />

them.<br />

Q: When did you first learn of the incident of Sept 20?<br />

A: I was in Padidan town, Nausheroferoz district, where I had gone the same<br />

day and was to proceed to Dadu for the inauguration of Malaria Week by the<br />

chief minister. When the CM decided not to inaugurate the event, he returned<br />

to Karachi. I also did not go to Dadu and instead went to Larkana to attend<br />

the funeral of Mir <strong>Murtaza</strong>.<br />
