Pakistani actor Humaira Asghar Ali laid to rest in Lahore
Deputy Inspector General of Police Syed Asad Raza confirmed to the news portal, "As per Call Detail Record (CDR) the last call was made in October 2024." This corroborates the timeline of her death as suggested by the post-mortem examination. Neighbours were unaware of her demise due to the vacant apartment next door and an open balcony door."Humaira's brother, Naveed Asghar, travelled to Karachi to claim her body. He stated, "We have come here and, after fulfilling all the legal requirements, have received the dead body." The family had distanced themselves from Humaira over the years.Naveed shared, "That is why my father said that if there is any emergency, then you can bury her there [in Karachi]." Humaira had rarely visited the family in the past seven years, further complicating the emotional circumstances of her death.The autopsy report was released to the police but the coroner could not determine the actor's exact cause of death because of the level of decomposition. 'We are awaiting the chemical examination and histopathological reports. However, it appears that no foul play was involved in this case,' police said on Saturday.In the months preceding her death, Humaira was absent from social media and phone communications, which delayed the realisation of her demise.(With inputs from PTI)- EndsTrending Reel

NCB busts drug syndicate in K'taka, seizes 9 kg meth; three foreign nationals held
This led to the identification of two networks and resulted in the interception and arrest of three foreign nationals along with the seizure of seven kg and two kg of high-grade Methamphetamine at the Bengaluru bus stand and Kempegowda International Airport, respectively, within a span of three days, the NCB said in a statement. The action was taken based on intelligence inputs about drug traffickers from African nations allegedly transporting drugs via bus and air from Delhi, they said. Bengaluru, Jul 15 (PTI) The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on Tuesday claimed to have busted a drug syndicate with the arrest of three foreign nationals here and seizure of nine kg of high-grade Methamphetamine from them. In the first operation, seven kg of Methamphetamine was seized. It was sourced from Delhi and transported by a female from an African country via bus through Mumbai to Bengaluru. She travelled with a child to avoid suspicion. In a swift follow-up action, another female from an African country, who had arranged the contraband, was also apprehended. In the second operation, the NCB said two kg of Methamphetamine was seized. The contraband was sourced from Delhi, packed at a location in West Delhi, and concealed in the luggage of a person from an African country who transported it to Bengaluru via a domestic flight. 'Investigations revealed that the individual had entered India on a student or tourist visa but failed to return upon its expiry. Instead, she assumed a new identity by procuring a forged passport under a different nationality to evade detection and tracking by enforcement agencies. Further, investigation in both the cases is underway,' it added. PTI AMP ROH This report is auto-generated from PTI news service. ThePrint holds no responsibility for its content.

26 ‘illegal' Bangladeshi immigrants arrested in Meghalaya by BSF; four others held for aiding their illegal entry
At least 26 Bangladeshis were apprehended by the Border Security Force near the international border in Meghalaya's West Garo Hills district. Officials said on Tuesday they were arrested for entering Indian 'without valid documents'. According to a PTI report, four persons were also nabbed for facilitating the illegal entry of the Bangladeshi nationals, they said. Personnel of the 22nd Battalion intercepted three vehicles travelling from Purakhasia to Barengapara along the state highway-12 near Matchokpara on Monday after specific intelligence inputs were received, an official said. "During checking, it was found that the Bangladeshi nationals were being assisted by Indian facilitators in an infiltration attempt. All individuals were taken to custody for questioning," he said. The number of Bangladeshi nationals, apprehended in Meghalaya in 2025 so far, has risen to at least 46, according to BSF data. Earlier this year, seven Bangladeshis were apprehended in East Khasi Hills, five in South Garo Hills, and four each in West Jaintia Hills and East Jaintia Hill, the PTI report said. The BSF termed Monday's operation a major success in its ongoing efforts to curb cross-border crimes and infiltration along the India-Bangladesh frontier. "This operation reflects the unwavering vigilance and operational commitment of our personnel in safeguarding national security," a BSF spokesperson said. Further investigation is underway in collaboration with the Meghalaya Police, the report quoted the spokesperson as saying. Odisha's Revenue and Disaster Management Minister Suresh Pujari on July 10 said that as many as 335 of the 444 people held in Jharsuguda district on suspicion of being Bangladeshis were found possessing fake Indian documents. He asserted that the BJP government in Odisha would not allow the state to become a "shelter home" for illegal Bangladeshi immigrants. Pujari, who held a meeting with senior officials, including the northern division revenue divisional commissioner, Jharsuguda collector and IG of the region, told PTI, "We found that 335 of the 444 people held for verification on suspicion of being Bangladeshis were possessing fake Indian documents. They all have Aadhar card, voter card and other documents showing them as residents of West Bengal." "We have decided to hand over these people to the district collectors of their respective places to which they claim to belong in West Bengal. Let the West Bengal government take whatever action they want to," the minister said, adding that there is a conspiracy to push illegal Bangladeshis into Odisha from the adjoining state.

Kabir Khan To NDTV On Sardaar Ji 3 Row: "Diljit Dosanjh Is A Proud Indian, Unfair To Target Him"
Kabir Khan's Bajrangi Bhaijaan completes 10 years on July 17, 2025. To date, it is considered to be one of Salman Khan's finest performances. The film explored the India-Pakistan conflict through the story of a little girl, Munni (Harshaali Malhotra), who gets estranged from her mother in India. It is with the help of Bajrangi (Salman Khan), a devout Indian who takes a pledge to bring her back home to Pakistan. Despite the tensions between the two nations, the film delivered a message of hope and unity. Precisely what brought us to the topic of the problems between India and Pakistan after the Pahalgam terror attack. What's Happening Kabir Khan shared his views on the Diljit Dosanjh- Sardaar Ji 3 controversy over casting Pakistani actress Hania Aamir. The makers faced severe backlash for collaborating with a Pakistani artist after the Pahalgam attack on April 22, 2025. The makers of the film have reiterated how the film was shot way back before the unfortunate incident unfurled. Kabir Khan told NDTV, "I agree, it was a decision that was taken ages ago. By the time things changed, the film had already been shot. So it's probably unfair to target. My views on things like censorship and banning are very different. One should be a little more liberated." He adds, "With anything to do with art. I don't think anybody is doing or making any film just to hurt people's sentiments or create hate and controversy. It's unfortunate." Speaking on the ban that Diljit Dosanjh's film Sardaar Ji 3 faced in India, "Sometimes films get stuck and get in the middle of politics, and then they lose out on audiences. They lose out on a good release. Diljit's film is doing well in Pakistan, like you mentioned. He is one of the most respected actors and stars of this country and has always done very good work. We also know how proud he is as an Indian. He has been an International icon." Sardaar Ji 3 Makers' Response To The Backlash Diljit Dosanjh had addressed the Hania Aamir- Sardaar Ji 3 fiasco in a conversation with BBC Asian Network. Diljit Dosanjh had said, " Jab yeh film bani thi tab situation sab theek tha. We shot this in February, and then everything was fine. Uske baad, bohut saari badi cheezein humare haath mein nahi hain. Toh producers ne decide kiya ki film obviously ab India mein toh nahi lagegi, toh overseas release karte hain. Toh producers ka bohut paisa laga hua hain aur jab yeh film bann rahi thi tab aisa kuch tha nahi. (When this film was made, everything was fine. We shot it in February, and things were okay back then. After that, a lot of things happened that were beyond our control. So the producers decided that they can't release the film in India now, so they'll release it overseas. The producers have invested a lot of money, and when the film was being made, the situation was totally different." The makers had also shared a note on Instagram, stating, "This is to bring to everyone's kind notice that the film named, Sardaar Ji 3, was shot well before the prevailing situation that our country is facing now and it was never ever the case that any Pakistani artist was signed or was engaged after the terrorist attack in Pahalgam." "We stand united with our country and our fellow countrymen during this sensitive time. Considering the same, we had decided not to release the film or any of its promotional content in India until the situation becomes opportune," the note concluded. In A Nutshell Kabir Khan shared his opinion on Diljit Dosanjh's movie Sardaar Ji 3 being banned in India over casting Pakistani actress Hania Aamir in the film, and his views on censorship. Following the horrifying Pahalgam attack on April 22, 2025, the makers of Sardaar Ji 3 faced severe backlash online, and the film was released overseas, except in India, on June 27, 2025.
