Aliya Fakhri Arrested in Double Homicide Case: Details Unfold

In a chilling turn of events, Aliya Fakhri, the sister of Bollywood actress Nargis Fakhri, has been arrested in New York for allegedly causing the deaths of her ex-boyfriend Edward Jacobs and his friend Anastasia Ettienne. This shocking incident has drawn widespread attention, leaving the Fakhri family and the public stunned.

The Incident: Tragedy in Queens

The tragic event unfolded on the morning of November 2, 2024, in Queens, New York. Reports from the Queens District Attorney allege that Aliya Fakhri set fire to a two-story garage where Jacobs and Ettienne were sleeping.

• Sequence of Events:
  • Witnesses report Aliya shouting, “You are all going to die today,” before setting the fire around 6:20 AM.
  • Ettienne awoke to the flames and tried to warn Jacobs but was unable to escape the rapidly spreading fire.
  • Both victims succumbed to smoke inhalation and severe thermal injuries.

Motive Behind the Crime

Authorities suspect the incident was motivated by lingering resentment. Jacobs had ended his relationship with Aliya about a year ago, but reports suggest she struggled to move on.

Jacobs’ mother disclosed that her son had made it clear to Aliya that their relationship was over, but it seems the heartbreak took a dark turn, culminating in this tragic event.

Family Reactions

The incident has deeply shocked the Fakhri family. While Bollywood star Nargis Fakhri has yet to issue a statement, her mother defended Aliya, describing her as a caring person who could never commit such violence. This defense contrasts sharply with the charges leveled against Aliya.

Legal Proceedings

Aliya Fakhri has been charged with multiple counts of homicide.

• Her bail request was denied, and she remains in custody.
• If convicted, she faces life imprisonment.
• Her next court appearance is scheduled for December 9, 2024.

Impact on Nargis Fakhri’s Career

The incident comes at a time when Nargis Fakhri is focused on her upcoming projects, including the Telugu historical film Hari Hara Veera Mallu and the Bollywood comedy Housefull 5. While Nargis has not commented publicly, the event will likely draw media scrutiny to her personal life amidst her professional commitments.

Public Reaction

The news has sparked widespread shock and speculation. Many fans and followers of Nargis Fakhri are trying to reconcile this tragic development with the public persona of the Fakhri family.
