In a tragic and mysterious turn of events, actress Humaira Asghar’s 9-month-old decomposed body was recently discovered in her flat in Defence Phase 6, Karachi. New developments in the case reveal crucial financial and personal details that deepen the mystery around her death.
Bank Account Reveals Stability
Police have disclosed that Humaira had over Rs 398,000 in her current account at a private bank. She also possessed a credit card and made regular ATM withdrawals ranging from Rs 25,000 to Rs 50,000 — suggesting she was not financially distressed.
Suspicious Identity Documents
Two identity cards were found at her residence. One appeared authentic, while the other — a color copy — displayed a falsified birthdate. Investigators are now verifying all her official records.
Medical & Phone Records Under Review
Authorities have contacted hospitals and laboratories in District South to obtain Humaira’s medical history. Meanwhile, her post-mortem report is awaited to confirm the exact cause of death.
Last Messages and Calls Raise Questions
On October 7, 2024, Humaira tried contacting 14 people, but received no response. Among them was a showbiz director based in Islamabad, who has since been contacted by police.
Her flat also contained three mobile phones, a tablet, a diary, and multiple documents. While some phones were unlocked, the tablet remains inaccessible due to technical issues. A diary revealed passcodes to certain devices.
Final Days – A Struggle for Work
Text messages retrieved from her phone indicate Humaira was struggling to find work. Most of her recent texts were requests for job opportunities, which suggests professional hardship in her final days.
Discovery of the Body
Her last known activity outside her home was recorded on September 28. Police believe she may have slipped while doing laundry, as soaked clothes were found decayed in the bathroom tub.
One major question investigators face is why no odor was noticed until November, despite the body being inside the apartment for months. The building’s guard claims no smell was evident when contacted earlier.
Murder or Misfortune? A Petition Filed
While some findings suggest an accidental death, others raise red flags. A local citizen has filed a petition claiming murder, urging the court to take further action. The authorities continue to probe deeper into the mysterious circumstances.
As more evidence surfaces, Humaira Asghar’s death investigation continues to puzzle both the authorities and the public. Was it a tragic accident, or is something more sinister hidden beneath the surface? The answer lies in the days to come.
