The wife of a Karachi-based industrialist rammed into bikers and pedestrians while driving her SUV on Karsaz Road in Karachi on Monday, killing three people.

Accused Natasha is the wife of Danish Iqbal, a prominent business figure in Pakistan, who currently holds the position of Chairman at Gul Ahmed Energy Limited and its subsidiaries as well as at Metro Power Group.

On Monday evening, a speeding SUV lost control and hit a motorcycle, other vehicles and several pedestrians before plunging onto the service road, police said. As a result two people killed on the spot, while the third succumbed to his injuries later in hospital.

As soon as the accident was reported, rescue officials reached the spot. They confirmed that two persons died on the spot while four persons were seriously injured who were taken to a nearby hospital for immediate medical attention.

The deceased were identified as Imran Arif and Amina, hospital officials said.

Eyewitnesses alleged that the woman driving the vehicle was intoxicated and tried to flee from the spot but was caught by the citizens and subsequently handed over to the police.

Police took two female suspects into custody and started an investigation into the matter.

Bahadurabad police station SHO Muhammad Naeem confirmed that the accused driver, Natasha, is the wife of well-known businessman Danish Iqbal, against whom legal action is currently being taken.

Moreover, Police stated that the accused is reportedly in a state of mental distress.

Om Shanti to the victims

I hope Natasha is tried as a normal citizen of Pakistan. When the rich make a mistake, the poor mob want them destroyed. It’s also a bias. Example being that of Salman Khan who was a victim of his celebrity status. Had he been a normal guy, he would have not suffered so much.
 
Brutal accident. Potentially 5 people are dead or can die (depending on injury recovery status).

Hopefully justice will be done. Even though chances are bare minimum
 
She will soon be freed and this case is gonna get buried like many others. Justice is not easy to get in Pakistan.

Tragic

Any details of the driver confirmed to be drink driving while this happened?
 
This girl was my senior in high school. She comes from a lot of money. Sadly money talks in Pakistan and they will find a way to get her off.

Hopefully this time justice will be served. But it’s too early to say if she was ‘tunn’ while driving. In fact police have said she was not drunk, her own car was completely destroyed and they found the car almost upside down (side way) so she must have had some head injuries too, and must be in shock. But that does not mean she is innocent. People have lost their lives so she will have to answer for that.

Karsaz Road accident: police books woman in murder case

Karachi police has registered a murder case against the woman accused of being responsible for a deadly accident on Karsaz Road a day ago that killed at least two people.

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 a man named Imran Arif and his daughter Amna Arif. Both the father and daughter succumbed to the injuries.

A media report also suggested that the vehicle then hit two more motorcycles and overturned after colliding with a car parked on the road.

The FIR was registered on the complaint of Imtiaz Arif, whose brother and niece died in the accident.

Imtiaz said in the FIR that he was informed that his brother and niece were shifted to the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC) after their bike was hit by a vehicle allegedly being driven by a woman named Natasha Danish on Karsaz Road.

The FIR invoked sections 320 (punishment for qatl-i-khata by rash or negligent driving), 337G (punishment for hurt by rash or negligent driving), 279 (rash driving or riding on a public way), and 427 (mischief causing damage to the amount of fifty rupees or upwards).

According to reports, bottles of alcohol were found in her car. There can be no open and shut case than this.
 
They’ll pay the blood money to the victim’s families and she’ll be back home in Clifton before we know it. Open and shut.
 
This case is not gonna go on for long. These powerful guys will walk free soon and the justice system of Pakistan will once against get exposed badly.
 
SUV driver receiving psychiatric treatment at JPMC, court told

While a manslaughter case has been registered against the woman SUV driver who ran over and killed a man and his daughter in a traffic accident near Karsaz a day ago, police failed to produce the suspect in court on Tuesday on the ground that she was undergoing psychiatric treatment at the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC) under custody.

The Bahadurabad police said that the suspect drove a Toyota Land Cruiser in an “extremely rash and negligent manner”, hit three motorcycles and a car, killing Imran Arif, 60, and his daughter Amna, 22, and wounding three others near Karsaz on Monday.

On Tuesday, the investigating officer of the case informed a judicial magistrate (East) that a JPMC doctor stated that she was “not in a good state of mind to appear before the court or undergo interrogation”.

The IO submitted a letter in court that asked JPMC’s psychiatric department in charge Dr Ghooni Lal to hand over the custody to the police for interrogation.

However, Dr Lal denied the request and stated that the suspect was “admitted to the psychiatry department for a detailed evaluation and investigations to reach a proper diagnosis. Currently, she is confused and not in a good state of mind to appear before the court or undergo interrogation”.

The IO also informed the court that he had to check the driving licence of the suspect and requested the court to give her 14-day police remand.

However, after hearing the IO and defence counsel, the court remanded the suspect in police custody for one day.

“Contentions of the investigation officer and perusal of the material available on record satisfies the court that for the purpose of remand u/s 167 Cr.P.C the physical custody of the accused is very much necessary but in this case, the physical custody of the accused has not been produced before the court and prima facie appears that accused is not in a position to be brought before the court at once without personal suffering and risk to health,” the court noted.

The court also directed IO to produce the suspect before the concerned judicial magistrate on Wednesday (today), on condition that she sufficiently recovers and is able to be produced.

“However, in case she doesn’t sufficiently recovers, the investigation officer may apply afresh to the concerned court for further orders,” the court said.

After the hearing, defence counsel Aamir Mansoob told the media that he had pleaded before the court that his client was a psychosis patient.

He said he argued before the court that the Pakistan Penal Code’s sections under which the FIR was registered are bailable, and his client be granted bail so that the required surety could be submitted.

Earlier, the Bahadurabad police registered a case against the suspect under Sections 320 (punishment for qatl-i-khata by rash or negligent driving), 337-G (punishment for hurt by rash or negligent driving), 427 (mischief causing damage to the amount of fifty rupees) and 279 (rash driving or riding on a public way) of the PPC on the complaint of Imtiaz Arif, brother of victim Imran.

Man, daughter laid to rest

Funeral prayers for the victim father and his young daughter were held in Gulzar-i-Hijri, Scheme-33 amid moving scenes. A large number of area people, family members and some politicians attended the funeral.

The family said that victim Imran Arif supplied papar on his motorcycle to various shops. On Monday, he went to pick up his daughter Amna from her office. They were heading home when the fast-moving SUV ran them over.

Amna worked at a private company while doing MBA from a private university.

Imran is survived by a daughter and a son.

Speaking at the funeral, city chief of the Jamaat-i-Islami Munam Zafar told the media that it was a tragic accident and his party was with the aggrieved family.

Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf leader Alamgir Khan accused the police of ‘tampering’ with the case and said that the FIR should have been lodged on the charge of premeditated murder instead of manslaughter.

Karachi Karsaz accident: Suspect sent to jail for 14 days​


The judicial magistrate has remanded the suspect in the Karachi Karsaz traffic accident case, Natasha, to 14 days in jail on judicial remand.

During the hearing at the Karachi City Court, the judicial magistrate ordered Natasha to remain in custody while the case proceeds. Her lawyer says the legal provisions applied to Natasha's case are bailable; however, the investigation officer says that Section 322, which has now been added to the case, is non-bailable.

This section pertains to culpable homicide, which escalates the seriousness of the charges. The petitioner's lawyer demanded to determine what kind of drug the woman was under the influence of that she killed two people.

When asked her husband's name, Natasha replied it was Danish. On being asked by the court if the police has tortured her, she replied in the negative. The investigating officer was then asked to provide the investigation report at the next hearing.

Culpable homicide charge included​


Meanwhile, the investigation has revealed that Natasha did not possess a local driving license at the time of the accident, due to which the police have incorporated the charge of culpable homicide, Section 322, due to Natasha’s alleged over-speeding. Earlier, the case included Section 320 regarding an accidental murder.

Sources said that the police checked the speed of the woman's car at the time of the accident. CCTV footage from the accident scene shows Natasha’s car travelling at an estimated speed of 100 kilometres per hour on a service road where the typical speed limit is 30 to 40 kilometres per hour. The footage also indicates significant over-speeding, contributing to the severity of the charges.

On the other hand, Dr Chunni Lal, head of the psychiatric ward at Jinnah Hospital, reported that Natasha's mental condition is stable and the chances of suicide are low, contradicting her family's claims of mental illness. The suspect was then discharged from the hospital.

Despite the family's assertions, no previous medical records supporting her mental health claims were presented. Dr Chunni Lal noted that Natasha's condition upon her arrival at the hospital on August 19 appeared poor, but currently, she is deemed fit.

Would this police chief make the same statement if this was a poor, unconnected, ordinary person who did the crime?

Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi rajioon.

Really hope she doesn’t get away from this, that speed in a populated area is insane, I mean the poor people had no chance whatsoever against this monster coming at them with this high speed.

And I have always loved using Gul Ahmed shalwar kameez, but this left a really bad taste in my mouth allthough you can’t blame the company for this crazy lady’s driving.
 
Nothing will happen. The lady will walk away freely.

Might have to spend 10-20 crore to buy everybody out (police, judges, lawyers).

‘Blood money’ explained | The Express Tribune

The payment of Diyat made to the victims’ legal heirs is according to laws laid out in the Pakistan Penal Code...
tribune.com.pk tribune.com.pk

The payment of Diyat (compensation/blood money) made to the victims’ legal heirs in the Raymond Davis case is according to laws laid out in the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC).

“Diyat basically relates to a ‘compromise’ between the accused and the heirs of the victim,” explained a lawyer who asked not to be named.

Based on the Quran and Sunnah, and the financial position of the accused and that of the victim’s heirs, the minimum Diyat payment is the value of 30.6 kilogrammes of silver. According to the current market prices of silver, the Diyat payment for the heirs of each victim would be a minimum of nearly Rs2.7 million.

The process of paying compensation starts with an application that the victim’s legal heirs have to give in court. Lawyers said the application usually states that they have waived their right to Qisas (punishment) and have ‘forgiven the accused in the name of Allah’ or have ‘exonerated the accused in view of the provisions of Shariah’.

Following this, the judge asks the legal heirs to be present and asks the accused as well as the legal heirs whether the process can go ahead. The court does not need to be told about the exact amount paid.

Criminal lawyer Zulfiqar Abbas Naqvi said the court’s job is to check that the application is in order and all the legal heirs are listed properly.

Naqvi also pointed to Section 311 of the PPC, which states that if the court considers that the principle of Fasad-Fil-Arz applies, or if all the heirs do not waive the right to Qisas, the court can sentence a person to 14 years of imprisonment.

However, Fasad-Fil-Arz takes into account “the past conduct of the offender, or whether he has any previous convictions, or the brutal or shocking manner in which the offence has been committed which is outrageous to the public conscience, or if the offender is considered a potential danger to the community [or if the offence has been committed in the name or on the pretext of honour].”

Naqvi explained that this applies in cases where the crime has spread a sense of fear and terror in the community. He said that even if a Diyat application has been submitted, the court can say Fasad-Fil-Arz applies and sentence the accused.

Raymond Davis was indicted on Wednesday morning and by the evening, reports emerged that the compensation payment had been made. A criminal lawyer with 15 years of experience, who spoke on condition of anonymity, expressed amazement at the speed at which the Diyat application and payment was made in Davis’ case.

According to the lawyer, the process takes a considerable amount of time and does not happen within a day, as has happened in Davis’ case, after he was indicted.

Okay so there’s presence for blood money.

I think the victim’s heir must take it because whoever is gone now cannot come back and in this tough economy they need money more than justice.

Police reveal new details in Karsaz accident case

The Karachi police have decided to form a special investigation team to probe the Karsaz accident case registered against a woman.

The suspect has been booked for killing Imran Arif, aged 60, and his daughter Amna Arif near the Karsaz area on August 19. According to the police investigative team, all CCTV footage recordings have been collected and are being examined by investigators. The blood test report of the female driver is expected within the next 24 hours.

Based on the medical reports, more sections may be added to the FIR and the future course of action for the investigation will be decided, according to the investigative team.

As per the investigation, the woman is constantly changing her statements. According to police sources, the suspect was traveling from her home in DHA Scheme-I to her in-laws’ residence, a distance of approximately 3-4 kilometers, when the incident occurred. The police team has confirmed that the suspect’s vehicle was registered under a private company’s name.

The investigation revealed the addition of new sections to the case, including Section 322 Qatal-bis-Sabab (murder without intention), which entails a punishment of blood money. Under the section 322, the accused will get a punishment ranging from 10 to 18 years in prison.

Furthermore, the victim’s family may opt for a settlement, known as diyat (blood money) which would require the suspect to pay a compensation amount equivalent to 30,360 grams of silver, valued at approximately Rs 6.8 million.

If the family accepts the settlement, the case may be closed. Meanwhile, the police team is working to obtain more CCTV footages to aid in the investigation. On Friday, DIG East urged others who were injured or had property damaged in the accident to come forward and record their statements with the police.

The DIG assured that the investigation is ongoing and justice will be provided to the heirs of the deceased father and daughter. He also visited the residence of the victims in Gulzar-i-Hijri, Scheme-33 and offered condolences to the bereaved family and assured them of full legal support. DIG Mahesar vowed that the police will ensure fairness at all levels.

It should be noted that the woman — who ran over Amna, Imran Arif and injured five others on Monday at the Karsaz Road — is currently in judicial custody following orders by a Karachi East court a day after it ordered its production in the court and sought a medical report regarding the suspect.

Karachi Karsaz road accident driver’s husband gets bail

The Sindh High Court has granted protective bail to Danish Iqbal, the husband of Natasha, the accused in the recent fatal car crash in Karachi’s Karsaz area.

The court granted bail for seven days, requiring Iqbal to submit a surety bond of 50,000 rupees.

Iqbal’s lawyer, Aamir Mansoob Advocate, argued that his client was in danger of being arrested and thus needed protective bail. He asserted that Iqbal had no involvement in the incident and that his wife, Natasha, is currently in jail.

The incident occurred on August 19 when a speeding car, driven by Natasha, lost control and crashed into pedestrians on Karsaz Road. The accident resulted in the deaths of a father and his daughter, and four other people were injured. Police arrested Natasha immediately after the incident.

Eyewitnesses reported that Natasha appeared to be out of control, driving the jeep recklessly. After hitting the motorcycles, she attempted to flee the scene, crashing into another vehicle.

Karsaz accident suspects granted bail as victims’ family pardons ‘in the name of Allah’

A sessions court in Karachi on Friday granted bail to Natasha Danish — the driver booked in the Karsaz accident case last month — and her husband on manslaughter charges after the counsel to the victims’ family said that they had pardoned them and removed their objections.

On August 19, a speeding Toyota Land Cruiser, driven by Natasha, hit three motorcycles and another car before overturning on the city’s Karsaz Road.

Sixty-year-old Imran Arif and his 22-year-old daughter Amna were killed in the accident, while three others were wounded. Subsequently, Natasha was booked and arrested.

Police then formed a special investigation team to probe the accident registered against the suspect. During the investigation, the driver’s husband, Danish Iqbal, had also been named as a suspect. However, he was later granted a seven-day protective pre-arrest bail by the Sindh High Court.

On August 28, Sindh Inspector General (IG) of Police Ghulam Nabi Memon told Dawn.com that Natasha was under the influence of narcotic methamphetamine (crystal meth) while driving.

Consequently, a separate first information report (FIR) was registered by the police against Natasha under Section 11 (drinking liable to tazir) of the Prohibition (Enforcement of Hadd) Order (PEHO) of 1979.

Natasha was then granted bail in the accident case by the courts but, she would remain under custody until the conclusion of the narcotics case.

According to defence counsel, Advocate Amir Mansoob Qureshi, Natasha, and her husband’s bails were set for Rs100,000 and Rs50,000 respectively.

The hearing for the narcotics case is set for Monday.

‘No blood money paid’

The aggrieved party’s lawyer, Barrister Aziz Ghouri, denied that diyat (blood money) was paid to the family, saying that the suspect was pardoned “in the name of Allah”.

“[They have forgiven the suspect] out of court in the name of Allah”, according to the affidavit that has come forward,“ he said.

“They (the family) are saying that they have forgiven because those who forgive have the highest stature,” he added as he denied reports of any monetary settlement between the two parties.

Meanwhile, defence counsel Qureshi said he was “not aware” of any compensation provided to the victims’ family.

He said that the courts had not placed any travel restrictions on Natasha and that his client was free to leave the country if she wanted.

The lawyer also said that the matter stood resolved because the family had issued a pardon.

She has zero remorse, her friends on FB were all supporting her, calling it “just an accident”. She came out with a victory sign as if it was someone else driving and not her when she killed 2 people.

Anyone with sense would know that. Either they were paid a huge amount or either they were threatened with dire consequences.
 
Pakistan needs vigilante group of people like the Punisher to administer justice in cases like this against the elite.

Karsaz accident driver denied bail in drug case

A judicial magistrate on Monday denied post-arrest bail to Natasha Danish — the driver booked in the Karsaz accident — in a case filed against her by the police after her medical report showed she was under the influence of methamphetamine (crystal meth).

On August 19, a speeding Toyota Land Cruiser, driven by Danish, hit three motorcycles and another car before overturning on the city’s Karsaz Road. Sixty-year-old Imran Arif and his 22-year-old daughter Amna were killed in the accident, while three others were wounded. The driver was arrested and booked for manslaughter charges.

The police then said that Danish’s medical report — conducted upon the request of the victims’ counsel — showed she was under the influence of crystal meth.

Consequently, a separate first information report (FIR) was registered by the police against Danish under Section 11 (drinking liable to tazir) of the Prohibition (Enforcement of Hadd) Order (PEHO) of 1979.

Danish was granted bail last week after the counsel to the victims’ family said they had pardoned her and removed their objections.

After being granted bail by the sessions court, the defence counsel and state prosecutor Muzafar Soomro appeared before Judicial Magistrate (East) Muhammad Raza Ansari to argue on a separate bail application filed in the drug case.

The defence argued that the investigating officer had “manipulated the blood and urine samples” taken from his client.

The state prosecutor opposed the bail application and after hearing the arguments the court reserved its order.

The order, given today by Judge Ansari, said that Danish’s lawyer could not satisfy the court regarding section 11 (drinking liable to tazir) of the Prohibition (Enforcement of Hadd) Order (PEHO) of 1979, adding that the claim of blood and urine samples being manipulated was false.

“There is nothing as such in the police’s file,” the court said.

It said that the nine objections raised by the suspect’s family had “no legal value”, adding that it was surprising that a “highly educated woman” was driving under the influence.

It observed that granting the suspect bail in the drug case would “have a negative impact on society”.

The order was subsequently challenged before the Additional District and Sessions Judge (East) Shahid Ali Memon.

Karachi sessions court rejects Karsaz accident driver’s bail plea in drug case

A Karachi sessions court on Friday rejected the post-arrest bail application of Natasha Danish — the driver booked in the Karsaz road accident — in a drug case.

On August 19, a speeding Toyota Land Cruiser, driven by Danish, hit three motorcycles and another car on Karsaz Road, killing 60-year-old Imran Arif and his 22-year-old daughter Amna, as well as wounding three others. The driver was arrested and booked for manslaughter charges.

The suspect was granted bail last week in the murder case after the victims’ family pardoned them “without any blood money”. However, a judicial magistrate had rejected her bail plea in the drug case on Monday.

Subsequently, the same day, Danish’s counsel Aamir Mansoob Qureshi had challenged the bail denial before the Additional District and Sessions Judge (East) Shahid Ali Memon.

Today, while announcing the verdict reserved two days ago, Judge Memon also rejected Danish’s bail plea.

The verdict had been reserved after hearing arguments from the defence counsel and the state prosecutor.

Danish’s lawyer had argued that, as a matter of principle, only one case should be registered for a single incident.

State prosecutor Syed Khursheed Abbas Bukhari had opposed the bail application, arguing that the case was still under investigation and the final charge sheet had yet to be submitted to the court.

Murder, drug cases in Karsaz accident

Danish was arrested on the spot and booked on manslaughter charges after the August 19 accident on Karsaz Road, which killed a father and his daughter.

Later, the police said her medical report — conducted upon the request of the victims’ counsel — showed she was under the influence of crystal meth.

Consequently, a separate first information report (FIR) was registered by the Bahadurabad police against Danish under Section 11 (drinking liable to tazir) of the Prohibition (Enforcement of Hadd) Order, 1979 (PEHO).

Rejecting Danish’s bail plea in the drug case, Judicial Magistrate (East) Muhammad Raza Ansari had observed that Danish’s lawyer could not satisfy the court regarding section 11 of the PEHO.

The magistrate further said the lawyer’s claim of the suspect’s blood and urine samples being manipulated was false.
