“The body has been handed over to your mortuary as trust. It will be received by the staff of the Brigade police station. It must not be handed over to anyone else,” it adds.

“Legal action will be taken if the body is handed over to anyone else. The post-mortem of the body of Aamir Liaquat Hussain is necessary. It is not possible to determine the cause of the death without post-mortem of the body,” it states.

Aamir Liaquat was to be laid to rest on the grounds of the Abdullah Shah Ghazi Shrine.
