At the time of his death, it was reported by Information-Secretary PkMAP Reza Mohammad Reza said that Kakar was undergoing treatment at a private hospital in Karachi after a fall, reported Geo News.
Former Deputy Chairman and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Senator Salim Mandviwalla said Kakar's son and other family members told him at the hospital in Karachi that they want to find out the actual cause of death and whether he has been murdered, reported Geo News.
The PPP senator said that the surgeon, who had come from Quetta, told him that the kind of head injury and blood clotting that was seen in Kakar's head "is not possible from falling down", reported Geo News.
He said his family members want his post-mortem and that he was alone at home at that time of the incident.
The actual cause of death will be declared in a pathology report, for which several samples were collected from the body.
After the completion of the autopsy, Kakar's body was handed over to his family to carry out the burial. Kakar's family said that they will get the pathological samples counter-checked, reported Geo News.
