A harrowing tale unfolds as 28-year-old Akash Gupta was reportedly murdered by Rajkumar Gupta and Poonam Devi, driven by tensions surrounding their illicit affair. In a bid to hide their crime, the couple concealed Akash's body in a plastic sack near a canal. Swift investigation efforts, sparked by a tip from the victim's brother, led to their arrest, while police are diligently pursuing other suspects linked to this grave incident.
The investigation into Shiva Sharma's death has led authorities to search for Shraddha Dubey across borders. CCTV footage reportedly shows Shraddha, her sister Rashmi, and an associate Adil in Nepal. They are believed to have fled Lucknow soon after the incident, raising suspicion. Sharma's family has alleged foul play, while Dubey maintains her innocence and claims he died by suicide.
After Shraddha Dubey's confrontational videos with Shiva Sharma went viral, new footage emerged showing her demanding the return of jewelry she claims was stolen. The situation escalated following Shiva's fatal fall from an apartment building on October 9, prompting police to search for Shraddha and her associates while offering rewards for information. Investigators have yet to verify the authenticity of the videos or the surrounding events.
Shraddha Dubey, accused in the death of her partner Shiva Sharma, released a video denying the allegations against her. She claimed that the situation resulted from unknown circumstances and asked the media not to spread rumors. Dubey recounted their activities leading up to Sharmas tragic fall from the balcony, which she claimed was unexpected. She expressed her distress over the accusations and the ongoing media scrutiny she faces.
Shraddha Dubey claims she dated Shiva Sharma for two months before his death from a fall. Dubey alleges Sharma was deeply in debt and threatened suicide if he could not repay loans. Following Sharma's death, his mother filed a police complaint accusing Dubey and others of murder. The Lucknow Police are investigating the claims and have offered a reward for information on Dubey.
