From 911Encyclopedia:
Pakistan's former federal Minister for Environment, Local Government, Rural Development, Labor, Manpower and Overseas Pakistanis, who was murdered by his enemies in Karachi, Pakistan, on June 25, 2002. Khan's dead body was found hanging from a ceiling fan of a bedroom in the Karachi home of his brother-in-law. Ironically, the corrupt, tyrannical and political Sindh Police officials have done their job by illegally and fraudulently labeling the brutal murder of Omar Asghar Khan as a suicide. On June 26, 2002, the BBC reported, that Naim Sarwar Khan, a spokesman for the Omar Asghar Khan family, told them that "there were signs that Mr. Khan's hands had been tied up, and one leg was still supported on a chair when he was found." One day later the Balochistanpost reported: "Although Omar Asghar Khan never acknowledged that he had resigned from the cabinet of General [Pervez] Musharraf because of differences with Musharraf, the fact that the NAB [illegal and unconstitutional National Accountability Bureau] was asked by the self-appointed President to find stuff against Omar Asghar Khan indicates that his relations with the military government were strained."
