Overview

• A petition filed in Karachi’s City Court by Shahzaib Sohail urged authorities to probe Humaira Asghar Ali’s death as murder and include her estranged family in the investigation.
• The special investigation team, led by SP Clifton Imran Jakhrani, has seized three mobile phones, a tablet and a laptop from her Defence Phase VI apartment for chat-log and bank-audit analysis.
• Initial postmortem findings were inconclusive due to nine months of decomposition, so investigators have preserved tissue samples for toxicology and DNA testing.
• Call Detail Records confirm Humaira’s last call was in October 2024 and neighbours last saw her around that time, raising questions about the prolonged lapse before discovery.
• Her final voice message, shared by friend Dureshehwar, continues to circulate online and has intensified public scrutiny of the circumstances surrounding her death.
