In the latest development in Humaira Asghar's case, police have revealed that the actress had Rs. 400,000 in her private bank account, and her ATM transactions indicated she was not in financial distress.

 

A senior investigating officer told the media that while she appeared financially stable, she might have been emotionally or mentally isolated.

 

Two national ID cards were also recovered from her flat. One showed a changed date of birth, possibly reflecting the pressure to appear younger in an industry that values appearance over age.

 

Actress Humaira Asghar’s nine-month-old body was found in a severely decomposed state inside her flat in Karachi’s Defence area last week. She had been living alone in the rented apartment.

 

The body was discovered only when a court bailiff arrived to vacate the flat on the landlord’s request. Humaira had been living alone on rent, and no one had checked on her for months.

 

Her mysterious death has sparked more questions than answers. Police investigations are ongoing but have yet to produce any major breakthrough.

 

Phone data showed that on October 7, 2024, she tried to contact 14 people, including a well-known director currently in Islamabad, but no one responded.

 

Her phone, diary, and even a damaged tablet have become key pieces of evidence. Among the 2,215 contacts saved in her phone, not one could be there for her in her final moments.

 

Investigators believe she may have slipped while doing laundry. Clothes soaked in detergent were found decaying in the bathroom. The kitchen had no food, raising further concerns about her condition before death.

 

Police are also investigating why the odour from her decomposed body went unreported for so long. Residents in the lower flat said they noticed a smell back in November, but the building’s watchman reportedly ignored it.

 

On the other hand, her brother Naveed Asghar made some serious claims about her death. In an interview, he said, "My sister did not die accidentally. She was murdered as part of a planned conspiracy. Police officers told me that when the flat’s door was broken open, the back door was already open and the roof window had also remained open. This is why the smell did not spread. We are 90 percent sure this was a murder."

 

He further added, "I believe there should be a full and transparent investigation. The landlord’s complete data and call records must be obtained. It should also be checked how long he has been living in Karachi and whether he has any links to Lahore."

 

Naveed also demanded a detailed probe into Humaira’s travel history. "It is important to know whether she used to travel alone or with someone. That aspect also raises many questions," he said.

 

Expressing disappointment over the lack of cooperation from people in the industry, he said, "Even the cast and crew from her recent projects are not fully cooperating. I don’t understand why they are not speaking openly. Are they afraid of someone? If they are innocent, they should come forward and help uncover the truth."
