Police investigating the death of Shiva Sharma in Lucknow are questioning model Shraddha Dubey, her sister Rashmi Dubey and their driver Danish to establish the circumstances surrounding the case. According to police sources cited in reports, the three accused were questioned separately and later together. Investigators are also examining Shraddha’s alleged past relationship with Zulfiqar, reportedly the leader of the Z gang, which is said to have continued until 2024. Police sources have further claimed that investigators are looking into the possible role of a Uttar Pradesh legislator in arranging accommodation for Shraddha in Nagpur. However, these allegations remain under investigation and have not been independently established. Police have also reportedly frozen one of Shraddha’s bank accounts containing approximately ₹6 lakh as part of the probe. The investigation is focusing on the events leading up to Shiva’s death and the alleged connections of the people involved.

Three Accused Arrested in Nagpur, Brought to Lucknow
Shraddha Dubey was arrested in Nagpur on October 20 along with Rashmi Dubey and their driver, identified in reports as Danish. A Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force team carried out the arrests, following which the three were brought to Lucknow on remand. A reward of ₹50,000 each had reportedly been announced for information leading to their arrest. During questioning, investigators are examining their individual accounts and possible links to the incident. Reports also suggest that Shraddha was concerned about her Instagram followers during questioning. Investigators are additionally looking into claims that a lawyer’s son, whose father was a former Director General, helped arrange legal assistance for her. These details are based on reported police-source information and remain subject to verification.
