In a recent legal development, Natasha Danish was acquitted of drug-use charges in a case connected to the fatal Karsaz Road accident in Karachi. The verdict was announced by the City Court during a court hearing, as reported by Aaj News.
The drug case had been initiated following medical and urine reports suggesting the presence of methamphetamine, commonly referred to as ice, in Natasha's system after the accident on August 19, 2024. The tragic accident occurred when Natasha, driving a speeding vehicle, lost control on Karsaz Road, causing a collision with multiple vehicles and pedestrians. This incident tragically led to the deaths of 60-year-old Imran Arif and his 16-year-old daughter, Amna Arif. Four other individuals were injured in the collision.
Police promptly arrested Natasha and registered a separate case against her under Section 322 of the Pakistan Penal Code, which pertains to qatl-bis-sabab, a non-bailable offense. She was granted bail against a Rs1 million surety bond and was released from jail after spending 43 days behind bars. The Sindh High Court also granted her bail in the drug-use case.
Natasha Danish's acquittal of the drug-use charges marks the end of a legal battle that began in the aftermath of the devastating Karsaz Road accident.
