The JDC Foundation and its head, Syed Zafar Abbas, have faced scrutiny over their handling of the incident, and it remains to be seen how they will respond to the allegations and concerns raised.
A double-cabin vehicle allegedly owned by Syed Zafar Abbas, head of the JDC Foundation, struck a motorcycle in Karachi's Ancholi area, critically injuring two young men, Abdul Ahad, 18, and Hanif, 19, cousins. The vehicle's driver, Raib Raza Naqvi, was behind the wheel at the time of the accident, and the passengers fled the scene after the incident.
The accident occurred when the high-speed SUV, registered to Syed Zafar Abbas, hit the motorcycle, leaving the two youths critically injured. The vehicle's number plate, which fell off during the incident, led to Zafar Abbas' identification as the owner. Eyewitnesses claimed that Abbas' team attempted to seize mobile phones from people recording the incident, sparking a heated altercation that went viral on social media.
Zafar Abbas has promised to provide medical treatment for the injured youths, who were rushed to a nearby hospital.

However, police were unable to record statements from the victims due to their critical condition.
The incident has raised concerns about road safety and the actions of those involved. The police investigation is ongoing, and it remains to be seen what actions will be taken against the driver and the owner of the vehicle. The condition of the injured youths remains critical, and their families are waiting for further updates on their treatment.
