      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330405617/shahzain-mari-and-guards-assault-case-both-parties-reach-settlement</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A settlement has been reached between the parties involved in the assault case at Karachi’s Boat Basin, where armed men in a vehicle attacked civilians.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Speaking to &lt;em&gt;Aaj News,&lt;/em&gt; victim Barkat Soomro stated that he forgave the attackers for the sake of Allah.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Barkat Soomro expressed gratitude to &lt;em&gt;Aaj News&lt;/em&gt; for highlighting the incident.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He explained that his parents and elders were in contact with the other party, leading to reconciliation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Political figures Mir Nadir Magsi, Nawab Gazain Mari, Saeed Ghani and Nasir Hussain Shah were present during the negotiations.&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;/figure&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Soomro recounted that the accused admitted their wrongdoing and even offered to pay any fine.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, he chose to forgive them, saying it was a decision made in good faith.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to South Police, they became aware of the settlement through media reports but have not received any official legal confirmation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Authorities stated that if Shahzain Mari is found in Karachi, he will be arrested, and the case will proceed to court.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The case was registered on February 21 based on a complaint by Barkat Soomro.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The assault took place on the night of February 19 at Boat Basin, where Shahzain Mari and his armed guards brutally attacked Soomro and his friend without any apparent reason.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The incident gained attention after a video of the attack went viral, prompting police action.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Seven suspects, including four guards of Shahzain Mari, were arrested, and weapons were recovered from their possession, according to DIG South.&lt;/p&gt;
