The Additional District and Sessions Judge South has disposed of a petition filed by Advocate Shahzaib Sohail regarding the discovery of model actress Humaira Asghar’s body, directing the police to register a case under Section 154 of the Pakistan Penal Code.

As per the report, the court issued its verdict on the petition seeking the registration of a murder case in connection with Humaira Asghar’s death.

At the previous hearing, the police submitted a report stating that they had contacted Humaira’s family.

The report mentioned that the actress’s post-mortem had been conducted, and the police were awaiting the final forensic report to proceed further.

The petition argued that Humaira Asghar died on October 7, but her phone remained active until February 2025.
