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.

Fortunately, the driver of that car escaped unharmed, but the jeep overturned.

The DSP of Traffic Bahadurabad Section, Ghulam Nabi, confirmed that Natasha had hit parked vehicles and motorcycles before the fatal collision. Police handed her over to the local police station, and the injured were taken to the hospital.

On August 21st, the City Court of Karachi sent Natasha to jail on judicial remand. A special investigation team was formed on August 23rd to probe the incident.

New footage of the incident surfaced on August 23rd, revealing that Natasha had hit a white Corolla car and a motorcycle earlier on the same road before the fatal crash. She attempted to flee the scene but ended up hitting the motorcycle carrying the father and daughter, killing them.
