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.
While the suspect was granted bail last week in the murder case after the victims’ family pardoned them “without any blood money”, her bail plea in the drug case was rejected 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.
