The documents, obtained by 24NewsHD include crucial details such as Natasha's passport, driving license, and extensive medical history.
According to the documents, Natasha holds British citizenship and arrived in Karachi from London on August 2, 2024.
She also possesses a UK driving license, valid until 2031. However, under Pakistani law, foreign driving licenses are only valid for six months for driving in the country.
The documents further reveal that Natasha was first admitted to the psychiatric ward at Aga Khan Hospital on August 18, 2005, and was discharged three days later on August 21, 2005.
Since then, Natasha has undergone various treatments at the hospital over the years, highlighting her long-standing mental health issues.
These revelations are expected to play a crucial role in the ongoing legal proceedings, as her lawyer argues that Natasha's mental condition should be considered during the trial.
It is pertinent, a speeding Toyota Land Cruiser, driven by Natasha, hit three motorcycles and another car before overturning on the Karachi’s Karsaz Road.
Sixty-year-old Imran Arif and his 22-year-old daughter Amna were killed in the accident, while three others were wounded.
