Bollywood beauty Nargis Fakhri has found herself making headlines, not for the movies, but for her sister Aliya Fakhri, who was arrested for murder and arson on Tuesday. According to reports, the 43-year-old has been accused of starting a fire in a fit of jealousy that killed her ex-boyfriend and his new female friend.
As per a report by Daily News, Aliya set a two-storey garage on fire in Queens, New York, killing Edward Jacobs and Anastasia “Star” Ettienne. She was not given bail during her arraignment in Queens Criminal Court. District Attorney Melinda Katz said in a statement, “This defendant maliciously ended the lives of two people by setting a fire that trapped a man and woman in a raging inferno. The victims tragically died from smoke inhalation and thermal injuries.”
