Rockstar fame actress Nargis Fakhri is currently shooting for her upcoming film Housefull 5 with Akshay Kumar. But it is her family that is making headlines for all the wrong reasons. It was recently reported that her sister Aliya was arrested for killing her ex-boyfriend Jacob and his lady friend Anastasia by setting his garage on fire in New York.

Aliya Fakhri gets arrested

According to a press release by District Attorney Melinda Katz, Nargis’s sister Aliya Fakhri deliberately set on fire a detached garage of a house, which led to the death of her 35-year-old ex-boyfriend Edward Jacobs and Anastasia Ettienne (33).

It is further revealed that Aliya went to the garage early in the morning on November 2 and yelled, "You're all going to die today.” Jacob lived above the garage and was asleep when she lit the garage on fire.

The report revealed, “According to the charges and investigation, on November 2, Fakhri arrived at the front door of a two-story detached garage behind 172-27 91st Avenue at around 6:20 a.m. and yelled upstairs to 35-year-old victim Edward Jacobs, ‘You’re all going to die today.’”

The press release also revealed that a witness heard her and after coming out, found that the garage was on fire. It is reported that after Jacob’s friend Ettienne saw the fire, she went upstairs to wake him but neither of them survived and died from smoke inhalation and thermal injuries.

The press release stated, “Soon after, a witness who was inside the property came downstairs and discovered that the building was on fire. Ettienne was alerted to the fire and went downstairs briefly. The woman then returned upstairs in an attempt to save Jacobs, who was sleeping. The building became engulfed with flames and neither Jacobs nor Ettienne could escape.”
