Aliya is said to have set fire to the garage of her ex-partner and his friend, after he allegedly rejected her advances to rekindle their relationship. The deceased persons have been identified as Edward Jacobs (35), and Anastasia Ettienne (33). The incident took place in the Queens neighbourhood of New York. Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz told the media that Aliya had been indicted on murder in the first degree and related charges. Aliya’s mother expressed disbelief. “I don’t think she would be killing someone,” she told the New York Daily News. “She was a person caring for everybody.”

Nargis Fakhri will appear in Housefull 5, alongside Sonam Bajwa and Jacqueline Fernandez.

The alleged crime took place on November 2. Katz said in a statement, “Soon after, a witness who was inside the property came downstairs and discovered that the building was on fire. Ettienne was alerted to the fire and went downstairs briefly. The woman then returned upstairs in an attempt to save Jacobs, who was sleeping. The building became engulfed with flames and neither Jacobs nor Ettienne could escape.”

Nargis made her Bollywood debut with Imtiaz Ali’s Rockstar, starring Ranbir Kapoor. She has also appeared in films such as Madras Cafe, Main Tera Hero, Azhar, and more.
