The lawyer representing the female suspect involved in the incident that resulted in two deaths and six injuries claims that her mental state is unstable and that she was under medication from Aga Khan University Hospital.
“She is unaware that she had an accident or even drove a car; she is mentally weak,” said the lawyer regarding the Karsaz traffic accident.
“In this condition a person cannot remember anything, she is unaware that she had an accident”.
When a reporter asked why she wasn’t hospitalized if her mental condition was so disturbed, the lawyer responded, “The severity of the case surfaced turned violent, she took the vehicle without permission; she was under medication at home otherwise, she would have already been in an isolated ward.”
