Pakistani Woman Accused of Fatal Reckless Driving

On August 19, 2024, Natasha Danish, the wife of Pakistani businessman Danish Iqbal, was involved in a horrific accident on Karachi's Karsaz Road, causing the deaths of a father and daughter due to her reckless driving. Videos from the scene show Natasha smiling and appearing unremorseful, which has sparked widespread outrage on social media. Witnesses reported that her Toyota Land Cruiser collided with multiple vehicles, including motorcycles, leading to severe injuries for at least three others. Natasha reportedly threatened bystanders, saying, 'Tum mere baap ko nahi jantay' (you don’t know who my father is), implying her family's influence could shield her from consequences. Despite the public outcry, she has not been presented in court, with claims about her mental health being contested by hospital evaluations. This incident has ignited discussions on accountability and the judicial system in Pakistan, highlighting the need for stricter enforcement of laws regardless of social status.
