The DHA Karachi assault case continues to stir public interest as a surprising development unfolded in court this week. The victim, Dheeraj, who was assaulted in Karachi’s upscale Defence Housing Authority (DHA) area, chose to forgive his alleged attacker, Salman Farooqi.
Victim Forgives After Court Appearance
Dheeraj, who had suffered an attack after a minor road incident on Khayaban-e-Ittehad, appeared in court and said, “It was my fault. I forgive him.” Despite his no objection certificate (NOC), the court remained cautious.
Court Rejects Bail Amid Serious Allegations
Public Prosecutor Irfana Qadri highlighted non-bailable offenses, including threatening Dheeraj’s sister, Kalpana. The Additional District and Sessions Judge denied bail, citing possible coercion behind the NOC.
Forgiveness Not Enough for the Law
While Dheeraj’s act of forgiveness might soften public sentiment, the DHA Karachi assault case is now a legal matter of public safety and accountability. The court’s decision underscores the seriousness of the allegations.
