A sessions court in Karachi rejected on Friday the post-arrest bail application of Natasha Danish, the driver booked in the Karsaz accident case that claimed two lives.

During the hearing today, Additional District and Sessions Judge (East) Shahid Ali Memon announced the verdict which was reserved earlier.

On September 6, Natasha was granted bail in the murder case after the victims’ family said they had pardoned the suspect.

However, her bail plea in the drug case was dismissed.

“We forgive her in the name of Allah, who is the Most Merciful and Compassionate,” the affidavit by the victim’s family stated.

The family said they had no objection to granting bail to the suspect as the accident that happened “was not committed purposely”.

According to the First Information Report (FIR), a copy of which is available with Business Recorder, a Toyota Land Cruiser rammed into a motorcycle, causing serious injuries to Imran Arif and his daughter Amna Arif.

Both the father and daughter succumbed to the injuries. The FIR was registered on the complaint of Imtiaz Arif, whose brother and niece died in the accident.

The police arrested the driver and booked her on multiple charges.
