Additional Attorney General Tariq Khokkar informed the bench that the JIT headed by FIA Director Mazharul Haq Kakakhel comprises four other members from other agencies and it would investigate the matter. He said that the agencies are trying to trace threatening calls to the sister of slain Parveen Rehman and Anwar Rashid, incumbent Director of Orangi Pilot Project (OPP). The FIA has submitted its report while the other departments are yet to furnish their reports, he added. Justice Azmat said let the reports of other departments come then they would proceed with the matter, adding the court would monitor the performance of the JIT. The case was adjourned for three weeks.
Last year in January, the court had ordered for constituting a new JIT to probe the killing of prominent activist Parveen Rehman as the court was not satisfied with the reports of earlier JIT comprising Sindh police officers. The court had criticised the investigation made by the Karachi police and its negligence in the murder of Parveen Rehman. Parveen Rehman was killed in cold blood on March 13, 2013, when she was on her way home from her office. Assailants on a motorbike shot at her car on Main Manghopir Road, near Banaras Flyover. She sustained bullet wounds to the neck and was rushed to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital by her driver, where she succumbed to her injuries.
