On August 19, Natasha Danish Ali, the wife of prominent businessman Danish Iqbal, crushed people with her Land Cruiser, including motorcycles and a parked car.
This resulted in the deaths of a 60-year-old father and his 22-year-old daughter. Additionally, three people were injured in the incident. The driver was arrested after causing the deaths of two individuals and injuring three others.
It is reported that she has taken crystal meth, a high-level drug, based on the blood test requested by the victim.
Natasha Danish was charged with a first information report under section 11 (drinking liable to tazir) of the Prohibition (Enforcement of Hadd) Order (PEHO) of 1979.
Natasha was granted bail last week, and the victim had no objection to it at the time.
After Natasha Danish was granted bail, defense counsel and state prosecutor Muzafar Soomro appeared before Judicial Magistrate (East) Muhammad Raza Ansari to deliberate on the separate bail application for the drug case.
According to the judge, the investigation office collected the client’s blood and urine samples because he had “manipulated the blood and urine samples.”
The state attorney filed a bail application, and after hearing the arguments, the court reserved its bail 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, according to Dawn.
It observed that granting the suspect bail in the drug case would “have a negative impact on society.”
