Actor Noor Malabika Das’s Untimely Death Shocks Industry, Triggers Calls for Investigation
Renowned Indian actress Noor Malabika Das’s sudden demise has sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry, leaving fans and colleagues in disbelief.
Das, known for her stellar performances in acclaimed web series including ‘Siskiyaan,’ ‘Walkaman Upaya,’ and ‘Charamsukh,’ captured hearts with her role alongside Bollywood star Kajol in the popular 2023 legal drama ‘The Trial‘.
The 37-year-old talent, originally hailing from Assam, was discovered lifeless in her residence in Mumbai‘s bustling Lokhandwala neighborhood, sparking an outpouring of grief and calls for a deeper investigation into the circumstances surrounding her death.
The All Indian Cine Workers Association has reached out to prominent figures such as Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Home Minister Devendra Fadnavis, urging a thorough examination into the tragic incident.
According to reports from ANI, Das’s body was found in an advanced state of decomposition, leading authorities to suspect suicide as the cause of her untimely passing.
The police detailed that following complaints from concerned neighbors about a foul odor emanating from Das’s residence, her remains were discovered by law enforcement personnel at the scene.
Investigative efforts have included the collection of vital evidence from the apartment, such as medications and mobile phones, as part of the ongoing inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the acclaimed actor’s demise.
While no suicide note was recovered, an accidental death report (ADR) has been filed, and a post-mortem examination has been conducted at Goregaon’s Siddharth hospital to shed light on the tragic events.
In a poignant turn of events, with Das’s family unable to travel back to Mumbai following her passing, her close friend and fellow actor Aloknath Pathak took on the responsibility of cremating her body with the support of the Mamdani Health and Education Trust NGO, highlighting the somber nature of the loss.
