  • Humaira Asghar’s father refuses to claim her body, says he cut ties years ago

    Humaira Asghar’s father refuses to claim her body, says he cut ties years ago

    Police officials have revealed that the family of actress and model Humaira Asghar has refused to claim her body, which was found on Tuesday, nearly two weeks after she died in Karachi.

    According to Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) South Mehzor Ali, authorities tracked Humaira’s phone number through her landlord and used call data records to contact her father and brother. Her father refused to come to Karachi, revealing that he had severed ties with her nearly two years ago. Police report that they have since been unable to get back in touch with him.

    Efforts to encourage the family to claim her remains are currently ongoing. Two mobile devices were recovered from her apartment in DHA Phase VI, and data recovery is in progress. The autopsy and toxicology reports are still awaited. SSP Mehzor noted that a case will be initiated if there is any indication of foul play, regardless of the family’s willingness to pursue it.

    Humaira had been living alone in the apartment and had allegedly not paid rent since 2024. Her landlord had initiated legal action, resulting in court orders for eviction. When police entered the residence last week, they discovered her body in an advanced state of decomposition. Neighbours told officers that she was rarely seen and did not interact with others in the building.

    However, several actors and artists have expressed their sorrow and concern online.

    Actor Amar Khan stated that Humaira’s death reflects the state of the industry and society. “It’s a day for reflection… you face judgment based on your attire, vehicles, career, and finances,” she shared, encouraging young women to prioritise their mental well-being.

    Mawra Hocane urged anyone facing challenges in the industry to reach out, saying, “I will not judge. I promise… I will do my best to be there.” Hina Altaf labeled it a call to action, writing, “She lived alone. She passed away alone. And days went by before anyone noticed.”

    Adnan Siddiqui remembered Humaira as a compassionate colleague, while Ali Rehman also expressed sorrow and prayed for her peace.

    Humaira gained public recognition after appearing on the reality series Tamasha Ghar and also featured in the 2015 movie Jalaibee.

    Police Surgeon Dr. Summaiya Syed said that the girls’ paternal and maternal uncles took them to Dr. Ruth Pfau Civil Hospital in Karachi around 5:30 p.m.

    Medical examination findings were “strongly suggestive of sexual violence.”

    Samples were collected for cross-matching, DNA profiling, and serology.

    There were signs of “severe physical violence” on both girls.  The eight-year-old’s condition was reported as severe.


    According to Dr. Summaiya, on May 25, the girls were brought to a government hospital in New Karachi after allegedly being subjected to assault and sexual harassment.

    Central SSP Zeeshan Shafiq Siddiqi said that their father had died four years ago and their mother had married another man and was living with her and her four children.

     He said the mother had told Khwaja Ajmer Nagri police that her daughters were “maltreated by an intruder”.

    He said that the police are investigating the case.

  • Cop accuses inspector of sexual exploitation after leave request

    Cop accuses inspector of sexual exploitation after leave request

    A police constable has accused his senior officer of sexually exploiting him after he requested leave, media outlets reported on Monday.

    According to reports, the constable later lodged a complaint on the Citizens Portal, alleging that an inspector posted at the Capital City Police Officer (CCPO) office in Lahore sexually assaulted him when he approached him for leave.

    He reportedly claimed that after turning down his request, the inspector urged him to remain silent, saying, “Such things often happen.” The constable is now calling for legal action against the officer.

    This incident comes months after a uniformed policeman was caught raping a woman who had been begging in Lahore’s Manawan area.

    When confronted by a citizen named Sajid, who was also filming him, the officer threw a shoe at him before opening fire. The bullet struck Sajid in the leg, and in the video, he can be heard screaming before showing his bleeding leg on camera.

    Locals overpowered the officer and handed him over to Manawan police, while Sajid was taken to hospital for treatment.

    Despite his injury, Sajid continued to follow the policeman, who attempted to put on his shoes and flee the scene.

  • Police find new clues in Shahrukh Khan death threat case

    Police find new clues in Shahrukh Khan death threat case



    The lawyer who issued death threats to Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan has reportedly been actively collecting his sensitive details online. 



    The officials, during the investigation, discovered that Faizan Khan, the accused, extensively researched and gathered information about Khan’s son Aryan Khan and their family’s security and movement.     Before threatening to kill the actor and demanding India Rs 5 million in extortion, Faizan complied details through online searches.



    The Bandra police uncovered the findings when they recovered a second mobile phone belonging to the accused.


    Faizan called the Bandra police on November 7 landline and directly threatened to kill Shah Rukh Khan.

    The accused, who have been in judicial custody for 10 days, purportedly dodged and evaded questions related to the collection of such information during his police interrogation.

    The Bandra police came up as prompt responders to securing public figures. The incident is a wake-up call for increased vigilance in the protection of sensitive data in this age of digitalization.

    Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has also faced multiple threats over the years, especially from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. But now, Shah Rukh Khan is in the news for receiving a threatening call from unknown callers, demanding Indian rupees 50 lacs. The call, made on November 5, led to an investigation by police from both Mumbai and Chhattisgarh.

    According to Indian media reports, authorities from both Mumbai and Raipur are now investigating the incident.     Chief Superintendent of Police Ajay Kumar confirmed the case, stating that Mumbai Police had informed their Raipur counterparts about the case registered at Bandra Police Station.

    This is not the first time Shahrukh Khan has received threats.

    In October, the actor was also targeted after the success of his films Pathaan and Jawan, prompting Mumbai Police to increase his security to a Y+ level, providing him with six armed personnel for around-the-clock protection.

    Reports printed in Indian media have said that WhatsApp messages sent to the Mumbai Traffic Police stated, “Salman Khan will be killed if the money is not paid.”

    After the fresh threat, a case has been registered against the unknown person who sent the WhatsApp messages while police search for the suspect.

    A 20-year-old man who threatened to kill Bollywood superstar Salman Khan two days ago was arrested from Noida in Uttar Pradesh.

    According to reports, the 20-year-old had threatened to kill Zeeshan Siddiqui along with Salman Khan.

    Khan’s close friend, Muslim politician, Baba Siddiqui was killed in Mumbai this month.

    The Bishnoi gang claimed responsibility for Baba Siddiqui’s murder. Apart from this, incidents of firing outside Salman Khan’s residence have also raised concerns about his safety.

  • Taylor Swift got police escort to London gigs after Austria terror plot

    Taylor Swift got police escort to London gigs after Austria terror plot

    US star Taylor Swift got a special police escort for her London concerts after an alleged suicide attack plot led to the cancellation of three performances in Vienna.

    Culture Minister Lisa Nandy denied the singer was given preferential treatment, after reports she had a motorbike escort usually reserved for senior members of the royal family and politicians.

    Her denial comes with the new Labour government under attack for accepting free gifts, including Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who was given six tickets to the Swift concert.

    Starmer, who attended the concert with his wife Victoria, announced last week that he had repaid thousands of pounds worth of gifts including the concert tickets.

    But Nandy said the police escort, first reported by The Sun newspaper, was not the result of pressure from senior politicians.

    “I utterly reject that there’s been any kind of wrongdoing or undue influence in this case,” she told Sky News television.

    The interior minister, Yvette Cooper, would not have insisted “any individual got the top level of private security arrangements. That is an operational matter for the police, not for the government,” she said.

    Other Labour politicians who enjoyed free tickets for the “Eras” tour shows included Education Minister Bridget Phillipson, London Mayor Sadiq Khan and Nandy herself.

    The Swift tour wrapped up its European leg in August in London following dates across a dozen countries.

    The last month of the Europe tour, however, was marred by the thwarted Austria attack, with authorities there revealing that an Islamic State sympathiser was planning a deadly attack at a concert in Vienna.

    Three suspects were detained and all three August concert dates in Vienna were cancelled after an investigation conducted with the help of US intelligence.

    According to The Sun report, Swift’s mother and manager threatened to axe the London shows in August unless she received the police escort.

    It alleged that the Met Police agreed after “personal interventions from Cooper and Khan”, stressing that any cancellation would be “economically damaging and embarrassing”.

    The Swift tour had been forecast to boost the UK economy by almost £1 billion ($1.3 billion), Barclays bank said in a study entitled “Swiftonomics”.

    London’s Metropolitan Police told AFP the force was “operationally independent” with decisions taken on the basis of a “thorough assessment of threat, risk and harm and the circumstances of each case”.

  • Suicide bombers given numbing injections, reveals arrested terrorist

    Suicide bombers given numbing injections, reveals arrested terrorist

    An apprehended terrorist belonging to Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) Rooh Ullah, has revealed that suicide bombers are administered injections to numb them two days before planned attacks.

    In a video statement, the terrorist revealed details about his and other suicide bombers’ training in a seminary in Afghanistan and how they crossed the border to get inside Pakistan.

    He said that he was a student of the seminary Tarteel-ul-Quran in Tortam village in Afghanistan’s Dangam area for one year.

    He’d received the training for 10 days under the supervision of men named Molvi Sibghatullah along with Farooq and Zakir.

    He stated that the injections were administered to suicide bombers two days before their departure so they could no longer understand what was happening around them.

    Rooh Ullah stated that after completion of their training, he, along with four other suicide bombers, travelled to the Afghan border, where a facilitator named Jawad helped them get inside Pakistani territory.

    Then, the group’s responsibility was taken over by another man, Sajjad, who separated the suicide bombers and took Rooh Ullah to a mosque.

    The terrorist had now been instructed to meet another individual, Suleman, whom he got to meet after travelling for one hour.

    Suleman instructed the terrorist to receive a suicide vest from Jameel, who would also guide him about carrying out the attack in a cantonment area.

    Pakistan is witnessing the most significant surge in terrorist attacks over the last two years as it blames the Taliban government in Kabul for not taking action against the TTP.

  • Pakistan approaches international community on radioactive smuggling in India

    Pakistan approaches international community on radioactive smuggling in India

    Pakistan has reached out to the international community over the arrest of a gang charged with smuggling radioactive substances called ‘californium’ in India.
    Pakistan Foreign Office (FO) has questioned how hazardous Sealed Radioactive Source (SRS) material was stolen.

    The Bihar Police have arrested a member of a gang smuggling californium, a radioactive chemical that is used to cure cancer. It is reportedly worth RS 17 crore a gram, Indian Media report

    “It is dangerous for such sensitive material in India to be routinely found in the wrong hands. Pakistan reiterates its call for a thorough investigation of these incidents and for adequate measures to prevent their recurrence. Pakistan is gravely concerned at the reports of recurring incidents of theft and illicit sale of nuclear and other radioactive materials in India,” said the Foreign Office.

    Quoting last month’s incident where five individuals with a radioactive device reportedly stolen from Bhabha Atomic Research Center were also found from Dehradun, the FO expressed strong reservations on the developments.

  • Dr. Omer Adil arrested after Gharida Farooqi’s legal complaint

    Dr. Omer Adil arrested after Gharida Farooqi’s legal complaint

    Lahore police have arrested cultural analyst and orthopedic surgeon Dr. Omer Adil after a legal complaint by anchor Gharida Farooqui, who accused Dr. Adil of passing derogatory and obscene remarks against her and other female television hosts.

    In July, during an appearance on the podcast Dil Ki Baat hosted by Zohaib Butt, Dr. Adil went on a misogynistic rant: “These anchors are somehow in touch with high profile Pakistanis. Female anchors are treated in an extraordinary manner. Nobody cares about the male anchor sitting next to the female anchor.”

    Dr Umer Adil added that even their show’s producers have no guts to instruct the women or criticize them on their mistakes. In fact, in those cases, producers leave the show and run away.

    In a statement shared on her X (formerly Twitter) account, Gharida Farooqui wrote, “Dr. Omer Adil has been arrested after my legal request. Dr. Umar Adil made obscene, vulgar and defamatory allegations against me and all women working in the media on the digital platform; In which especially my name was taken. I gave an opportunity to Dr. Omar Adil in legal proceedings to apologize publicly, but he did not do so. Salute to all the law enforcement agencies who acted on my request for the protection of women. It is hoped that justice will be done and the perpetrators of crimes against women will be brought to an end, and women will get full protection in Pakistan.”


    Farooqui also wrote in her tweet, “This arrest has been made by FIA, and all the officials of Cybercrime Wing Lahore, including DG FIA, deserve a lot of thanks and appreciation. They are doing the legal process in the best way with full professional responsibility.”

    Social media users have shown their support for Farooqui by expressing sympathy and supporting her stance against misogyny and defamation on her X account.
