A judicial magistrate’s court in Karachi acquitted Natasha, the accused in the Karsaz road accident case, in a separate case registered under the anti-narcotics law after the prosecution and investigating authorities failed to prove the drug-use charge against her.

The court observed that the medical evidence did not establish that Natasha had consumed drugs. It further noted that no signs of drug use were detected in her blood test.
The prosecution had alleged that Natasha was involved in the use of drugs in connection with the Karsaz accident case.
However, the court found that the available medical evidence was insufficient to establish the charge. The court subsequently acquitted her in the anti-narcotics case.
The prosecution told the court that in August 2024, Natasha had allegedly run over a father and daughter travelling on a motorcycle on Karsaz Road.
Imran Arif and his daughter, Amina Imran, were killed in the accident, while Abdul Salam and Shane Alexander sustained injuries.

A separate case concerning the road accident was registered at Bahadurabad Police Station on the complaint of Imtiaz, the brother of the deceased Imran, according to the prosecution.
The prosecution also informed the court that Natasha had already been acquitted in the main Karsaz accident case.
After examining the evidence, the court concluded that the prosecution had failed to establish the anti-narcotics charge and acquitted Natasha in the separate case.
