In a video post to Instagram, the Pakistani actress expressed shock and disappointment over Humaira Asghar’s family’s refusal to claim her body.
“I just found out that her family has refused to claim her body and perform her final rites. I am literally so shocked. I don’t know how to respond to such a development,” Sonya Hussyn said.
She added, “I cannot understand that her body remains in the morgue while her parents are alive.”
The Pakistani actress went to ask the authorities to allow her to perform the final rites of Humaira Asghar, if her family continues to refuse to do so.
“I request the authorities to wait until tomorrow. If no one shows up to claim her body and give her a proper burial, please give me the responsibility so that I can perform the final rites for the deceased,” she wrote in the caption of her post.
