Officials said the driver was initially taken into custody for questioning. However, he was later released after the victim’s family submitted a written statement declaring that they did not wish to pursue legal action and had forgiven the driver.
The car involved reportedly carried a government number plate along with a judicial monogram plate.
Police stated that no case has been registered, as the family refused to file a complaint. However, authorities added that the driver remains part of the investigation record and may be summoned again if necessary. A case could still be registered in the future if a complainant comes forward. The incident has renewed concerns about speeding and road safety in Karachi’s residential areas.
