Tehran Prosecutor, Abbas Jafari Dolatabadi, and Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Eje'i, the spokesman for the judiciary, denied his killing during the interrogations and stated that he had lost his life during the clashes. The Judiciary news agency "Mizan" wrote that he had been injured and transferred to Baghiatollah hospital, but died there. According to witnesses, Mr. Raji was still alive after his arrest and was released at the detention center. It is unclear whether he was killed under torture or due to lack of effective health care.
