Pakistani actress Humaira Asghar found dead in Karachi apartment
Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Syed Asad Raza told Pakistani media that officers arrived at the scene around 3 p.m. and, after receiving no response at the door, broke the lock to gain entry. Upon entering, they discovered the decomposed body of the actress, who is believed to have died approximately two weeks earlier.
Asghar, whose age is reported to be between 30 and 35, had been living alone in the flat for the past seven years.
'It appeared that the body was several days old,' DIG Raza stated.
According to Niche Lifestyle, her death is reportedly being treated as 'natural' at this stage, though authorities have confirmed that a formal investigation is ongoing. Forensic teams were called to the apartment immediately to collect evidence.
The body has since been sent to the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre for a post-mortem examination. Dr Summaiya Syed, who is overseeing the process, confirmed that the remains were 'in a very advanced stage of decomposition,' making it more difficult to determine the exact cause of death without further analysis.
No further details have been released at this time, and police have urged the public to avoid speculation as they continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the actress's death.

Agra conversion racket: Girls lured via social media, linked to Pakistan, say police
Agra police investigating an alleged religious conversion racket on Saturday said that several rescued girls were found to be in contact with individuals in Pakistan who discussed Islamic beliefs and allegedly aimed to convert them. Some of the girls were reportedly influenced by Kashmiri women who criticised Hinduism and promoted Islam as part of the larger network's efforts. Arrested accused Abdul Rehman aka Rehman Chacha (Sourced) 'We have interrogated 14 arrested individuals and spoken to the rescued girls. It was found that they were in contact with people in Pakistan, who spoke to them about Islam, and with some girls in Kashmir who reportedly influenced them to adopt the religion,' Agra police commissioner Deepak Kumar said. According to officials, Pakistani individuals identified as Tanveer Ahmed and Sahil Adeem were frequently in touch with the girls through social media platforms. 'The network targeted youth, particularly those involved in online gaming, and used encrypted platforms and foreign contacts to push conversion,' a senior police officer said. The racket, according to the police, was operated by two converts, Abdul Rehman alias Rehman Chacha, earlier known as Mahendra Pal, and Ayesha, formerly SB Krishna, who are now in custody. 12 other accused arrested so far have allegedly confirmed their association with them. One accused, Rehman Qureshi, allegedly raised funds through crowdfunding and maintained transactions in cryptocurrency and foreign currency with individuals based in the Gaza Strip, according to the police. Officials further revealed that at least three members of the group were proficient with the dark web and communicated through encrypted apps and coded signals to avoid detection. According to police officials, girls allegedly targeted by the network were rescued from Dehradun, Bareilly, Aligarh, Jhajjar, and Rohtak. Police said the victims are being interviewed to gather further details. Last week, Agra police rescued a woman from Haryana and another from Uttarakhand. The latter, aged 21, gave her statement before a magistrate in Agra under Section 183 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS). She is now considered the main witness in the case.
