The apartment, locked from the inside with no signs of foul play, suggests a possible natural death, per SSP South Mahzoor Ali, though police await forensic results. The Crime Scene Unit collected evidence, including a mobile phone registered to Humaira. No relatives have claimed the body, despite police efforts to contact the family via phone records.

Humaira, recognised for her work on ARY’s “Tamasha Ghar” and the 2015 film “Jalaibee,” had 700,000 Instagram followers and received the National Woman Leadership Award in 2023, according to India Today. Her death, which followed a similar situation involving actress Ayesha Khan, sparked important discussions about mental health. Fans are mourning her loss, while the police have urged the public to avoid speculation.
