The shocking discovery of Pakistani actress and model Humaira Asghar Ali’s decomposed body in her Karachi apartment has taken a haunting turn. Investigations now indicate she likely passed away in October 2024, nearly nine months before her remains were found earlier this week.

The disturbing incident came to light when a court bailiff, sent to vacate a rented property in Karachi’s Ittehad Commercial area, broke into the flat only to find Ali’s lifeless body. Initial assessments, including one by Karachi Police Surgeon Dr. Summaiya Syed, estimated her death occurred about a month ago based on the advanced state of decomposition.

But as detectives dig deeper, a digital trail began to contradict that initial estimate.

Police reviewed Ali’s phone records, her last online activity, and spoke to neighbors. All evidence painted the same grim picture: she had not been seen or heard from since October 2024.

Her last Facebook post dates back to September 11, 2024, and Instagram saw its final update on September 30. Deputy Inspector General Syed Asad Raza confirmed that her phone went silent in October 2024, with the final call made during that month.

Adding to the mystery, neighbors said they hadn’t seen her since September or early October. The apartment next door was vacant at the time likely contributing to the delay in detection. Residents returning in February reported a faint odor, which they assumed had dissipated naturally. The open balcony door might have accelerated that process.

Investigators noted expired food, rusted containers, dry water pipes, and no backup power source in the apartment. All these signs aligned with a timeline ending in October, when her electricity was reportedly disconnected, possibly due to unpaid bills.

Forensic teams, accompanied by Dr. Syed, collected multiple samples from the scene. However, authorities are tight-lipped on additional findings, possibly pending lab analysis.

Tragically, Ali’s family has declined to claim her body, a decision shrouded in silence. Whether due to estrangement or another reason, the refusal adds a heartbreaking layer to the story.

Humaira Asghar Ali first made waves after winning Veet Miss Super Model in 2014 and later starred in Tamasha Ghar (2022) and popular dramas like Guru and Ehsaan Faramosh; her cinematic journey included titles like Jalaibee (2015) and Love Vaccine (2021).

Pakistani actress and host Nadia Khan has directly warned fellow artists and anchors that she will pursue legal action if anyone makes personal remarks about her again.

Nadia, who started as an actress and gained fame through her morning shows, has frequently faced public and industry criticism. Her recent show Kya Drama Hai, where she and other celebrities comment on trending Pakistani dramas, drew backlash from stars like Faisal Qureshi, Sarwat Gilani, Behroze Sabzwari, and Yasir Hussain. Veteran actress Saba Faisal also condemned Nadia and her co-hosts in a video message.

In response, Nadia posted a video on YouTube, declaring, “If anyone tries to attack me personally now, they will have to face the court.” She added, “If morals are sold for money and fame, then the law will take its course.”

She announced plans to file cases under criminal and civil defamation laws, along with the PECA Act, warning that those who target her could face prolonged legal battles. “This is my final warning,” Nadia said. “If there is another personal comment, it will have serious consequences.”

Her remarks sparked mixed reactions online—some praised her for drawing a line against personal attacks, while others pointed out that she herself has frequently criticized others and now appears unwilling to accept similar scrutiny.
