Humaira Asghar's family takes her body back to Lahore

The body of actress and model Humaira Asghar, who was found dead in a flat in Karachi’s Defence Phase 6, was handed over to her family. Her relatives have since transported her remains to Lahore, where she will be laid to rest.

Speaking to the media, Humaira’s brother revealed that he last spoke to her around ten months ago.

He said he was unable to reach Karachi immediately due to the death of a close family member, which delayed the body’s recovery.

However, he confirmed that the family remained in constant contact with the police, and all legal procedures have been completed.

Meanwhile, police officials stated that the investigation into Humaira’s death is still underway, with multiple angles being explored to determine the cause. Authorities are reviewing call detail records (CDRs), and individuals who recently interacted with the actress, including a cab driver, will be questioned.

Investigative sources confirmed that Humaira’s mobile phone data has been retrieved, and all those she last contacted are being interrogated.

Humaira Asghar’s body was discovered on July 8 in her apartment in the Ittehad Commercial area.

The discovery was made when a court bailiff arrived at the premises after the landlord filed a case over non-payment of rent. Upon forcibly opening the door, authorities found her decomposed body inside.

According to the initial post-mortem report by Karachi Police Surgeon Dr Summaiya Syed, the body was in a “very advanced stage of decomposition,” indicating that the actress had likely died about over a month earlier.
