Karsaz accident: Natasha Danish granted bail

KARACHI: A sessions court in Karachi granted on Friday bail to Natasha Danish, the driver booked in the Karsaz accident case, after victims’ family said that they had pardoned the suspect.

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

Moreover, the aggrieved party’s lawyer, Barrister Aziz Ghouri, denied that diyat (blood money) was paid to the family.

While the families have confirmed the settlement, the terms of the agreement remain shrouded in secrecy. The affidavit submitted to the court states that the matter has been settled amicably, the accused has been forgiven, and the incident was not intentional. The families insist they signed the no-objection certificate willingly, without any pressure.

However, A private television channel, citing sources, claimed the settlement involved a sum of Rs50 million and a job offer for a member of the affected family at Natasha’s company.

Similar claims have been made on social media platform X, with reporters and other media outlets citing “sources” and alleging that the settlement involved a financial payment and a “lucrative” job offer in a company linked with the driver.

No official confirmation from any party involved in the case has been released so far.
