Noor Malabika Das, an actress and former air hostess, has been found dead in her apartment in Mumbai, in what police suspect to be a case of suicide. Noor, best known for her role in the web series 'The Trial' starring Kajol, was discovered at her Lokhandwala residence on June 6. The news has left the entertainment industry in shock, with an investigation into the circumstances of her death currently underway.
According to police sources quoted by Mid-Day, the tragic discovery was made after Noor's neighbors reported a foul smell emanating from her apartment. The neighbors, concerned about the unusual odor, informed the Oshiwara Police, who subsequently forced their way into the flat. They found Noor's decomposed body hanging from a ceiling fan. The police have initially ruled the death as a suicide, though a thorough investigation is still in progress.
Following standard procedure, the police attempted to contact Noor's family after conducting a panchanama, but no immediate family members came forward to claim her body. Consequently, her last rites were carried out on the following Sunday. An officer quoted by Mid-Day stated, "We spoke to her family. They had returned to their native place two weeks ago. Investigation is underway."

Her friend Aloknath Pathak added, "Until last month, her family was living with her in Mumbai. The family returned to the village a week ago. She was living in this flat on rent."
