- The vibrant world of Pakistani entertainment is mourning the tragic loss of actor and model Humaira Asghar Ali, whose body was discovered this past Tuesday in her rented apartment in Karachi’s Defence Housing Authority. The news has sent shockwaves through the industry and her fans.
- Police confirmed the tragic discovery at an apartment in Ittehad Commercial, Phase VI.. Gizri police, acting on a court order to vacate the property due to unpaid rent, made the grim discovery. When officers arrived at 3:15 PM and received no response after knocking, they were forced to break the lock to enter. Inside, they found Humaira’s body, which authorities believe had been there for approximately two weeks.
- DIG South Syed Asad Raza noted the advanced state of decomposition, indicating the body had been there for several days. A Crime Scene Unit was immediately called to gather evidence. The body was transferred to Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre for a detailed autopsy, which took place on Tuesday night. Police surgeon Dr. Summaiya Syed confirmed the examination, stating the “cause of death is reserved,” pending further investigation.
- SSP South Mahzoor Ali shared that Humaira had been living alone in the apartment and had stopped paying rent to her landlord in 2024, leading to the court’s involvement. While the exact cause of death is still under investigation, police currently do not suspect foul play. Both the iron gate and the wooden door of the apartment were locked from the inside, as was the balcony door, suggesting no forced entry.
- However, authorities are awaiting the coroner’s final report for a definitive conclusion. Efforts are also underway to locate her relatives with the help of her cellphone. Humaira Asghar Ali was a familiar face in the industry, known for her appearance in the ARY reality show Tamasha Ghar and her role in the 2015 film Jalaibee. Her sudden and untimely passing is a profound loss, and the community awaits further details as the investigation unfolds
