‘Bohot saari dil se dua karna': Humaira Asghar Ali's death case takes shocking turn, new viral audio emerges
The mysterious case of Pakistani model and actor Humaira Asghar Ali's brutal death took a twist after a new petition suggested that she was murdered. Humaira's decomposed body was found in her apartment in Karachi's upmarket Defence Housing Society on July 8. The initial post-mortem findings said she had died eight to 10 months ago. According ARY News, a petition was filed by a citizen named Shahzaib Sohail in Karachi's City Court, stating that Humaira was murdered. He also urged the court to make sure her family was included in the investigation. Shahzaib reportedly referred to video evidence from the apartment and spoke of Humaira's strained ties with her family. His petition raised serious doubts about how the actress was found, which led the court to order police to treat the matter as a possible criminal case, Ary News reported. As forensic details continue to emerge in Humaira's death case, a voice message she sent to a close friend shortly before her death went viral recently. In the viral audio clip, she could be heard asking her freind to remembered her in prayers. In the voice note, Humaira can be heard saying, 'I'm so sorry, I was travelling, caught up here and there. I'm so happy tum Makkah me ho. Mere liye bohot saari please... apni cutie si dost/ behen ke liye bohot saari dil se dua karna. For my career, dua me zarur yaad rakhna. Mere liye bohot saari tumhe dua karni hai. [Please pray a lot for me... Pray a lot from your heart for your cute friend/sister. For my career, please remember me in your prayers. You have to pray a lot for me].' While investigation is still on, Muhammad Ahmed, a senior stage and television actor, was quoted by PTI as saying, 'From what I have heard, Humaira was in dire financial condition because of which she couldn't pay her rent. It is sad because she was a hard working popular actor.' Chilling details of post-mortem examination confirmed that her body was in an "advanced stage of decomposition. Her key organs were reduced to an unidentifiable mass, and her facial features were completely unrecognisable, Pakistan-based GeoTV reported. Parts of the body were "entirely devoid of muscle" tissue, and the bones began to "disintegrate upon touch," the report cited. It reported that her fingers and nails were "reduced to bone". Investigators also found insects in the remains, though no maggots were found. Brown-coloured insects, especially in the hair, were claimed to be present.

In a disturbing case, Pakistani actress and model Humaira Asghar Ali was found dead in her Karachi apartment, with forensic experts saying she likely died between eight to ten months ago. Her body was discovered last week by a police team executing a court order to vacate the flat. According to Geo News, which cited the initial post-mortem findings, the body was in an 'advanced stage of decomposition.' Facial muscles had deteriorated, fingers and nails were reduced to bone, and large parts of the body had no muscle tissue left. The bones reportedly began to fall apart when touched. Humaira had acted in several television serials and two films. She lived alone in an apartment in the upscale Defence Housing Society. The report also said that her internal organs had turned into a 'black-coloured mass' and brain matter was entirely decomposed due to autolysis. Cartilage in the joints was gone, though no bone fractures were found. While the head and spine remained intact, the spinal cord was missing. Brown-coloured insects were reportedly present, especially in the hair, but no maggots were found. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Gentle Japanese hair growth method for men and women's scalp Hair's Rich Learn More Undo Because of the severe state of decay, experts were unable to determine the exact cause of death at this stage. However, DNA profiling and toxicology tests are underway and are expected to offer further insight. Initially, police said that her family refused to take the body. 'Her family members have flatly refused to own her or take the body for burial,' DIG South Zone Asad Reza said, adding they claimed to have severed all ties with her two years ago. He said the case posed unusual challenges, especially since her death had gone unnoticed for such a long time and no neighbours appeared to have raised any concerns. Geo News later confirmed that her family received the remains on Thursday and transported them to Lahore by ambulance.
