More than a week after police began hunting for model Shraddha Dubey, her sister and driver over the death of a Lucknow cafe owner, the trio was arrested from Nagpur on Tuesday.
The dramatic 11-day manhunt saw police officers being transferred over delay in arrests and the rewards being increased from ₹25,000 to ₹50,000 for information leading to the accused. At one point, the hunt was extended to Nepal's Banke and Surkhet. However, they came back to Uttar Pradesh via Maharajganj and flew from Agra to Nagpur.
Model Shraddha Dubey, her sister Rashmi Dubey and driver Tanveer Ali alias Danish were arrested by a team of personnel from the Lucknow police and Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force.
Cafe owner Shiva Sharma, 28, died after falling from the fourth floor of Awadh Green Apartments in Hazratganj, Lucknow, on October 9. Dubey and Sharma were in an alleged live-in relationship. Police have recovered sex toys and sexual enhancement drugs from the flat and cigarette burns and lipstick marks were found on his body.
His mother, Ranjana Sharma, had filed a police complaint, alleging that he was murdered.
While the trio remained untraceable for the past 11 days, Dubey, a social media influencer, posted a video, denying allegations of murder and that Sharma died by suicide. She also went on to claim that he was stressed over debt amounting to ₹20 lakh and spoke about killing himself.
