**New York, NY** – Alia Fakhri, sister of Bollywood actress Nargis Fakhri, has been arrested and charged with the double murder of her ex-boyfriend, Edward Jacobs, and his friend Anastasia Etien. The incident occurred last month in a New York City garage, which Fakhri allegedly set on fire.
According to eyewitness accounts, Fakhri intentionally ignited the fire, shouting threats towards Jacobs and Etien before the blaze engulfed the garage. Jacobs was asleep at the time and unable to escape. Etien, who initially escaped, attempted to rescue Jacobs but was overcome by the flames. Both victims perished.
Fakhri is facing life imprisonment on charges of murder and arson. While Fakhri claims her innocence, prosecutors are building a case against her based on eyewitness testimony and forensic evidence.
Alia Fakhri’s mother has come forward, claiming her daughter has struggled with drug addiction and that this may have contributed to the incident. She insists Alia is not capable of such violence, portraying her as a helpful and caring individual.
Interestingly, reports suggest that Nargis Fakhri has been estranged from her sister for over 20 years and learned of the incident through media reports. Neither Nargis Fakhri nor her sister’s defense team have publicly commented on the case beyond the mother’s statement. Alia Fakhri is currently being held at Rikers Island in New York City awaiting trial.
