Overview

  • Police executed a court-ordered eviction on July 8 in Karachi’s Ittehad Commercial area and found Humaira Asghar’s body in an advanced state of decomposition after neighbours reported a foul odor.
  • Crime Scene Unit teams collected evidence on site and transported the remains to Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre, where Dr Summaiya Syed said extreme decomposition has made immediate cause of death hard to determine.
  • Deputy Inspector General Syed Asad Raza has ruled out signs of foul play and officials are now treating the case as a possible natural death while waiting on postmortem and toxicology results.
  • On July 10, Asghar’s father formally declined to claim her body, prompting the Sindh Culture Department and entertainment community members to step in for burial rites.
  • The incident has intensified calls in Pakistan’s arts sector to address social isolation and welfare support for performers living and working alone.
