In a tragic turn of events, the body of actress and model Humaira Asghar was discovered in her flat in DHA Phase 6, Karachi. The apartment, located in the Ittehad Commercial area, had reportedly been occupied by her since 2018.
According to police sources, Humaira Asghar had been living alone for the past seven years. However, she stopped paying rent in 2024, which led the landlord to file a legal case with the Cantonment Board Clifton (CBC). Following court orders, a bailiff visited the flat on Tuesday to execute the eviction process.
Upon entering the apartment, the bailiff discovered a decomposed body, believed to be Humaira Asghar. The body was shifted to Jinnah Hospital, where a postmortem is scheduled. Initial estimates suggest the deceased was between 30 and 35 years old. Due to the body’s condition, visual identification was not possible.
Residents of the area told authorities the deceased was Humaira Asghar, a former actress who had withdrawn from public life in recent years. SSP South confirmed that DNA testing will be conducted to confirm the identity. No close family members have claimed the body so far.
Police stated that preliminary findings suggest a natural death, with no signs of foul play observed at the scene. The flat has since been sealed for further investigation.
A mobile phone recovered from the flat was registered in the name of Humaira Asghar. Police also found a magazine containing her photographs and an identity card, which helped confirm the identity.
Investigations revealed that a landlord-tenant dispute led to court proceedings. During the bailiff’s visit to vacate the flat, the body was found. Authorities have referred the case back to court, and further legal action is expected after the judge’s decision.
The investigation remains ongoing.
