Noor Malabika Das, The Trial actress, found dead in her Mumbai apartment: Reports

Actor Noor Malabika Das, who was a known face in web shows, was found dead in her Mumbai apartment on Thursday. Das, a former air hostess with Qatar Airways and a native of Assam, was found in a decomposed state by the Mumbai police. She was 37 years old.

As per a report in NDTV, the discovery of Das’ body came after neighbours in her Lokhandwala residence noticed a foul odour emanating from her flat and alerted the authorities. Police officers, upon arrival, had to force their way into the apartment, where they found her lifeless body. There was a lack of any immediate signs of struggle or a suicide note, as reported. However, the collection of samples, including medicines and mobile phones, is expected to aid in piecing together the final moments of Das’ life.

An official has confirmed that an Accidental Death Report (ADR) has been filed, and an autopsy has been conducted to determine the exact cause of death.

Das’ untimely demise has left her family in a state of profound grief. Her elderly parents, who had visited her recently, have been unable to travel back to Mumbai due to the circumstances. In their absence, her friend and fellow actor Aloknath Pathak, along with the assistance of an NGO, took on the responsibility of her cremation.

Noor Malabika Das’s death has sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry. She had recently gained prominence for her role alongside Bollywood star Kajol in the 2023 legal drama The Trial.

The All Indian Cine Workers Association has stepped forward, urging Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Home Minister Devendra Fadnavis to ensure a thorough probe into the circumstances surrounding Das’s death.
