Actress and model Humaira Asghar found dead in her apartment located in Ittehad Commercial, Defence Phase 6, Karachi. Police recovered the body after a court-appointed bailiff visited the flat due to a rental dispute.
According to Karachi police, the 35-year-old had been living alone in the apartment since 2018 and had reportedly not paid rent since 2024. A case filed by the property owner with Cantonment Board Clifton (CBC), and upon legal enforcement, the body discovered.
