ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court (SC) on Wednesday expressed its displeasure over the lack of progress in the Perween Rahman murder case despite its orders for trial proceedings. Perween Rahman, head of the Orangi Pilot Project, was shot dead near her office in Karachi’s Orangi Town in March 2013. The report by the JIT appointed to probe the murder of Rahman was furnished by DIG West Amir Farooqi. Later, on March 29, an anti-terrorism court indicted five accused in the case, including Ayaz Shamzai alias Swati, Mohammad Amjad Hussain Khan, Ahmed Khan alias Ahmed Ali alias Pappu Kashmiri, Mohammad Imran Swati and Mohammad Raheem Swati. Subsequently, the trial court summoned the prosecution witnesses to record their statements.
