A 27-year-old restaurant entrepreneur died after allegedly falling from the fourth floor of an apartment near Balu Adda in Lucknow, with his mother accusing his girlfriend, a social media influencer, and her associates of murder. The family has alleged that the man, Shiva Sharma, faced months of blackmail, threats and physical assault linked to his relationship with Shraddha Dubey.
Hazratganj police have registered an FIR against Dubey, her sister Rashmi Dubey, her driver, an associate named Adil and several unidentified people following a complaint by Sharma's mother, Ranjana Sharma. Police are investigating circumstances surrounding his death. The allegations against Dubey and others have not been independently established, and the FIR does not by itself establish guilt.
