Model Shraddha Dubey, a key accused in the death of Lucknow-based businessman Shiva Sharma, has been arrested in Nagpur along with her sister Rashmi Dubey and driver Danish, Uttar Pradesh Police said on Tuesday.
The three accused had been absconding since the case was registered. They were apprehended by the Lucknow Police and the Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force (STF), with assistance from Nagpur Police.
A reward of Rs 50,000 each had been announced for information leading to their arrest.
Following her arrest, Shraddha Dubey was brought to Bell Road Police Station on Wardha Road in Nagpur, where she was being questioned. Officials from the Uttar Pradesh STF and Nagpur Police were jointly interrogating her.
According to police, a case under Section 103(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) was registered at Hazratganj Police Station on October 9, based on a written complaint filed by Ranjana Sharma.
The accused were being taken through the necessary legal formalities before being brought to Lucknow for further investigation into Sharma’s death.
Meanwhile, reports have emerged about Dubey’s movements while she was on the run. According to media reports, she stayed for nearly 24 hours at a hotel in Taj Nagari Phase-I in Agra.
The reports claimed that CCTV footage showed a vehicle allegedly linked to Dubey arriving at the hotel at 6:33 a.m. on October 17. Around 20 minutes later, at 6:53 a.m., a woman identified in the reports as Dubey reportedly entered the premises. The vehicle’s registration number was reported to be UP32RT8043.
During her time in hiding, Dubey released a video appealing against linking her name with influential individuals.
An audio recording that had earlier gone viral, purportedly featuring Dubey threatening Sharma, also surfaced. In the recording, she was allegedly heard referring to complaining about him to a “sir”.
