KARACHI: (HRNW) An appeal was filed in the Supreme Court (SC) against the verdict of the Sindh High Court (SHC) regarding the acquittal of the prime accused Raheem Swati in the Perween Rahman murder case.
The SHC verdict regarding the acquittal of the prime accused in the Perween Rahman murder case was challenged in the SC Karachi Registry. The appeal was filed by the slain Perween Rahman’s sister, Aquila Ismail through her counsel, senior advocate Faisal Siddiqi.
The petition challenging the SHC verdict stated that Raheem Swati’s confessional statement recorded in 2016 clearly proves that he devised the plan to murder Perween Rahman with other accused persons to illegally occupy the land on the premises of Orangi Pilot Project (OPP) for establishing a karate club and later on planned to murder the deceased to get rid of her.
