The Pakistani entertainment industry was left in shock following the tragic news of actor and model Humaira Asghar Ali's passing. Gizri Police confirmed on Tuesday that the 35-year-old's body was discovered in her Karachi apartment, where it had likely remained for nearly 20 days. The grim discovery was made when her landlord, accompanied by a court bailiff and police officers, arrived to execute a court-ordered eviction due to non-payment of rent. Humaira had reportedly stopped paying rent in early 2024, though she had been living in the third-floor flat in Ittehad Commercial area of DHA Phase VI since 2018. The flat's main door was locked from the inside, prompting authorities to break it open. The actor's body was found in an advanced state of decomposition. According to SHO Farooq Sanjrani of Gizri Police Station, there were no immediate signs of foul play or forced entry. Crime Scene Unit investigators collected forensic evidence from the scene, and the body was moved to Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre for post-mortem examination. Initial assessment suggests natural causes, but the exact cause of death will be determined after the autopsy. The flat has since been sealed, and the investigation remains ongoing. Police have yet to locate any of Humaira's family members. She was believed to be living alone with limited contact, which contributed to the delay in discovering her death.

Udaari actor, Hina Altaf, echoed the same sentiments as him, expressing on her Instagram, "She lived alone. She passed away alone. And days went by without anyone even noticing. This isn't just a loss, it's a wake up call. Check in on your friends and also people who never asked. May Allah forgive her and give her the highest rank in Jannah. May Allah give strength to souls who are battling so quietly." Mawra Hocane, Ahmed Ali Butt, Madiha Imam and Sadaf Kanwal also reacted to the news with sadness.

Two dead in gunfight over 'runaway wife'
The second husband of a runaway wife shot dead her third husband in the Mohammad Khan Colony slum of Baldia Town on Wednesday. Fuming with vengeance, stoked by his Pashtun pride, Sang Gul, a resident of Tank district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, had come searching for his wife, Nabeela Bibi, to Karachi, with his nephew Madho and other men. A man named Saifur Rehman had brought her to Karachi and they were living in a predominant Pashtun neighbourhood which made it easy for Sang Gul to track them down. According to reports a deadly shooting erupted inside a house in Baldia Town's Mohammad Khan Colony on Wednesday evening, leaving two men dead and two others - including a woman - injured. Police said the incident stemmed from a personal and family dispute involving the woman's former and current husbands. According to police, the incident occurred near Route W-25 stop in Mohammad Khan Colony. Upon receiving reports of gunfire, Ittihad Town police reached the scene and shifted the bodies to Civil Hospital for legal formalities. The deceased were identified as 30-year-old Saifur Rehman and 28-year-old Madho. The injured were identified as Nabeela Bibi — wife of the deceased Saifur Rehman — and Saif's brother Atiqueur Rehman. DIG South Asad Raza confirmed that weapons were recovered from the scene. Initial investigation indicates that the clash was a result of an ongoing personal feud between the two parties. Police said that Saifur Rehman had brought Nabeela Bibi, a married woman, from Tank district in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to Karachi. Later, Nabeela's second husband, Sang Gul, arrived in Karachi with several men, including his nephew Madho, to take her back. The confrontation turned violent and escalated into a gunfight inside the house. Both Saifur Rehman and Madho were killed in the exchange, while Nabeela and her brother were seriously injured. SHO Ittihad Town Rao Shabbir said that this was Nabeela's third marriage, and the second deceased — Madho — was the nephew of her second husband. The remaining assailants, including Sang Gul, fled the scene after the shooting. Police have launched a manhunt to arrest the absconders. It was unclear whether Sang Gul had divorced her or she had eloped with Saif, police said. Meanwhile, the Crime Scene Unit arrived at the spot, collected evidence, and sealed off the area. Police are recording statements from the injured and continuing the investigation.
