The Additional District and Sessions Judge South has ordered the police to register a case under Section 154 of the alleged murder of model and actress Humira Asghar.
Disposing of the petition on Monday, the court directed the police to record the statements of Humira’s family and take legal action.
The body of actress and model Humira Asghar was found on July 8, 2025 from a flat in Etihad Commercial area of Karachi when the landlord broke the door of the flat along with a court bailiff for non-payment of rent.
According to the post-mortem report, the body was in the final stage of decomposition, indicating that the death took place around eight months ago.
According to the investigation, actress Humira Asghar’s phone was in use till October 2024, but the WhatsApp profile picture was deleted after the make-up artist contacted, making the matter more suspicious.
Petitioner’s counsel Abdul Ahad Advocate told the court on Monday that Humira had last contact with the make-up artist over the phone, after which the phone remained open but the call was not answered.

Meanwhile, Humira’s WhatsApp picture was also deleted, which makes the case suspicious, he added.
According to Advocate Abdul Ahad, Humira Asghar died on October 7, but her phone continued to be used until February 2025.
The investigation report stated that the postmortem of the deceased has been done and the final forensic report is awaited after which further action will be taken.
The lawyer pleaded with the court that the make-up artist should also be investigated and Humira’s brother and other close relatives should also be made a part of the investigation.
According to the lawyer, the police report also mentions the collection of blood samples from the room and the washroom, which indicates that Humira was murdered.
The police investigating officer told the court that if enough evidence comes out during the investigation, the police will itself register a case.
SSP South and SHO Ghazri were made parties in the petition.
After reviewing the lawyer and police report, the court declared that the available evidence points to a cognizable offence, so a case should be registered against Humira Asghar’s family and the state.
