A high-profile case has unfolded in Lucknow where a 28-year-old cafe owner named Shiva Sharma died under mysterious circumstances at Awadh Green Apartment in the upscale Hazratganj area. Following the incident, the victim's mother, Ranjana Sharma, alleged foul play and accused model and social media influencer Shraddha Dubey of orchestrating her son's murder. Hazratganj police have officially registered a murder case and initiated an extensive investigation.
Allegations Detailed in the Police Complaint
In the official police complaint submitted by Ranjana Sharma, serious accusations have been leveled against multiple individuals. The complaint states that there is strong suspicion that Shiva Sharma was murdered by Shraddha Dubey, her sister Rashmi Dubey, her driver, an associate named Adil, and several unidentified accomplices. The mother contends that the group acted together to carry out the killing under premeditated circumstances.
Four-Month Live-in Relationship and Alleged Assault
According to the family, Shiva Sharma had been in contact with Shraddha Dubey for the past four months and was residing with her in a live-in relationship. Ranjana Sharma alleged that Dubey was forcibly keeping her son in the relationship and regularly blackmailing him. On Friday evening around 7:00 PM, an associate of the model contacted Ranjana Sharma to claim that Shiva was injured and had been brought to King George's Medical University (KGMU). Upon arriving at the medical facility, the mother discovered that Shiva had already succumbed to his injuries and was clad only in undergarments. She claimed that Shiva was severely beaten before being pushed from the fourth floor of the apartment building.
Police Raids and Ongoing Probe
Following the registration of the homicide case, Hazratganj police have intensified their pursuit of the accused. Law enforcement teams are actively conducting raids to locate model Shraddha Dubey, her sister Rashmi Dubey, and associate Adil. While Dubey had previously been linked to controversies, this marks the first instance where she faces a homicide accusation. Police officials are currently verifying every aspect of the incident, reviewing physical evidence from the building, and tracing the whereabouts of all named individuals.
