Nagpur, October 21: The Nagpur District Court has sent Shraddha Dubey, her sister Rashmi Dubey and driver Danish, who were absconding in connection with the suspicious death of Lucknow businessman Shiva Sharma, on 72-hour transit remand. A joint team of Lucknow Police and Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force (STF) has taken all three from Nagpur to Lucknow. Now, after reaching Lucknow, interrogation and further legal action will be taken in the case.
According to the police, Shraddha Dubey, Rashmi Dubey and Danish were arrested in Nagpur on October 20. The Nagpur police assisted Lucknow Police and Uttar Pradesh STF in this operation.

After receiving 72-hour transit remand from the Nagpur District Court, the police are now taking the three to Lucknow for further investigation and questioning in the case.
This case relates to the death of Lucknow cafe businessman Shiva Sharma. He died after falling from the fourth floor of a building in the Hazratganj police station area on October 9th. Following the incident, his mother, Ranjana Sharma, filed a police complaint, calling her son’s death suspicious and suspecting murder. Based on the complaint, the police registered a murder case under Section 103(1) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). Since then, the police have been investigating various aspects of the case.
According to information, Shiva Sharma and Shraddha Dubey had a close relationship. Shiva’s family has accused Shraddha and others of harassment. The possibility of suicide has also been raised in this case. However, the actual causes of the incident and the roles of those involved will only be officially confirmed after an investigation.
Following the arrest of the three accused in Nagpur, all eyes will now be on the direction of the investigation and the findings from police interrogation.
