The investigation into Pakistani actress and model Humaira Asghar Ali’s death has uncovered a startling detail: she used two computerised national identity cards (CNICs) with different birthdates. Police revealed this on July 16, 2025, as they probe the circumstances of her demise.
The original CNIC indicated her birthdate as October 10, 1983, while the altered version displayed October 10, 1997. This change was likely made for professional reasons related to the entertainment industry. This revelation adds complexity to her case, which is already steeped in a murder petition and family disputes. Humaira’s body was discovered in a decomposed state on July 8, 2025, in her apartment in Karachi.
The police obtained copies of both CNICs during the investigation. The original showed her birthdate as October 10, 1983. The altered one changed it to October 10, 1997, making her appear 14 years younger. Authorities believe she used the tampered ID for work in the industry, where age can impact opportunities. This finding raises questions about identity verification in Pakistan’s entertainment sector. No charges have been filed yet, but it complicates the ongoing murder investigation.

Humaira’s decomposed body was found on July 8, 2025, in her locked fourth-floor apartment in Karachi’s Ittehad Commercial Area, DHA Phase VI. Gizri Police and a court bailiff entered to enforce eviction for unpaid rent since April 2024. Neighbours reported a foul odour, but a vacant adjacent unit delayed discovery. The locked doors suggest she was alone.
Postmortem revealed advanced decomposition, with organs blackened and insects present. A petition alleges murder, prompting police to investigate her phones, bank data, and last voice note. Her brother denied family estrangement and called for transparency.
