The investigation into Natasha Danish’s traffic accident in Karachi’s Karsaz area has not made any progress, primarily because the medical report of the accused has been delayed.
Investigators report that it may take two to three days to finalize Natasha Danish’s medical report as samples to two separate laboratories, and a third will be sent to Lahore for a comprehensive analysis.
The investigation’s progress critically depends on the results of these medical tests. Investigators have closely examined the route Natasha Danish’s vehicle took from her home in D.A. Scheme 1, Karsaz, to her mother-in-law’s house, three to four kilometres away. Throughout the investigation, Iqbal’s inconsistent statements have complicated the inquiry.

Investigative sources confirm that Natasha Danish holds a British driving license. Authorities are verifying her foreign citizenship status and the authenticity of her driving license. Initially, authorities filed the case under Section 320 (causing death by negligence), which did not adequately support the allegations. They have since escalated the case to include Section 322 (manslaughter), intensifying the severity of the charges.
Under Section 322, Natasha Danish could face a sentence of 10 to 18 years in prison and may also need to pay blood money, or ‘diyat’, calculated at 30,000 grams of silver. The current value of this silver-based diyat amounts to approximately 6.85 million rupees, and its payment could potentially result in the dismissal of the charges against her.

The investigation also reveals that a private company registered the vehicle involved in the accident. Investigators plan to detain the vehicle’s registered owner and engage with the company’s executives. They also try to collect CCTV footage from the accident scene to strengthen the case.
Furthermore, the Inspector General of Sindh, Ghulam Nabi Memon, has elevated the case’s profile by forming a special investigation team, including an SSP rank officer.
