KARACHI – The Sindh High Court (SHC) on Monday granted bail to Natasha Danish, who was prime suspect in deadly Karsaz accident, in the drug case.
The high court was directed to submit surety bonds worth Rs1 billion for the bail and adjourned the case till next hearing.
Earlier this month, a lower court had granted her bail in the Karsaz accident case on a bond of Rs. 100,000. However, her bail request in a separate case, filed under the Narcotics Act for driving under the influence, had been rejected.
The Karsaz Incident: From Murder to Pardon
On August 19, Natasha Danish was allegedly driving her Land Cruiser recklessly under the influence of drugs on Karsaz Road. The incident led to the tragic deaths of a father and his daughter, and four others were injured. Eyewitnesses gathered at the scene and handed her over to the police. A case was registered, and Natasha was arrested.
A medical report later revealed that Natasha had been under the influence of crystal meth (ice) during the crash, resulting in additional charges under the Narcotics Act.
On September 6, in a surprising development, the victims’ families announced they had forgiven Natasha “for the sake of God.” They even submitted affidavits to the court, expressing no objection to her bail. As a result, the court granted her bail in the accident case.
