Shraddha Dubey, an influencer and make-up artist arrested in the alleged murder of her businessman boyfriend, Shiva Sharma, may have links to Mumbai’s ‘Z’ gang, the police investigation has revealed.
Dubey, along with her sister, Rashmi Dubey, and their driver, Danish, was arrested from Nagpur on Tuesday after changing their location multiple times. The businessman’s family accused Dubey of killing him. From there, she returned to Lucknow and then travelled to Agra via Rae Bareli, Jhansi and finally to Nagpur. They were planning to escape again before they were arrested by the Special Task Force. Police, however, tracked her location before she could move into the farmhouse. Police have recovered three iPhones from Dubey and further investigation into the matter is underway.
Shiva, who owned a chain of restaurants, had fallen to his death from his girlfriend’s fourth-floor flat in Lucknow on October 9. In July, 12 individuals were arrested in connection with an extortion case involving a builder from whom Rs 25 lakh was demanded.
The accused and her sister, along with their driver, had escaped to Nepal from Lucknow, according to the police.
