Karachi
\nThe funeral prayers of lawmaker and televangelist Aamir Liaquat Hussain were offered on Friday, following the end of an hours-long standoff between police and the deceased\u2019s family over the matter of an autopsy.
\nThe funeral prayers were offered at a mosque adjacent to the shrine of Abdullah Shah Ghazi, with his son, Ahmed Aamir leading the congregation.
\nHussain is expected to be buried at the shrine of Abdullah Shah Ghazi graveyard.
\nEarlier today, a Karachi police spokesperson said in a statement that the body had been handed over to his family after a preliminary examination and submission of a report by the police surgeon.
\nThe development had come after an impasse between police and Hussain\u2019s family on the matter of the MNA\u2019s autopsy following his death on Thursday.
\nWhile police sought to conduct the body\u2019s autopsy, which was necessary to ascertain the cause of his death, his family had refused to have a post-morterm examination.
\nSubsequently, the matter was referred to a judicial magistrate in Karachi.
\nAccording to a police statement, the judicial magistrate visited the Chhipa morgue, where Hussain\u2019s body was kept, after his family appeared before the court and allowed for the body to be handed over to the heirs.
\nSpeaking to the media, Ramzan Chippa, who heads the Chhipa Welfare Association, also confirmed the development, saying that Hussain\u2019s funeral would be held after Asr prayers and he would be buried at the graveyard at Abdullah Shah Ghazi\u2019s shrine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
