The mysterious death of millionaire businessman Shiva Sharma in Uttar Pradesh’s capital, Lucknow, continues to baffle investigators. While closed-circuit television footage clearly captures Sharma plunging from the fourth floor, the exact circumstances leading to his fatal fall remain an unsolved puzzle four days later. Based on initial spot reports, police are treating the high-profile case as a potential murder mystery.

Meanwhile, statements provided to police by the victim’s mother have added a complex layer to the ongoing investigation. The grieving mother claimed that model Shraddha Dubey possessed explicit and obscene videos of her son. Armed with this sensitive material, Dubey allegedly subjected Sharma to prolonged blackmail, leveraging her high-level political and administrative contacts to threaten him with social disgrace and the ruin of his business empire.

Investigators are still working to determine whether Sharma jumped from the balcony or was pushed. The recovered CCTV footage displays him falling to the ground, but his mother and eyewitnesses insist he was driven to the edge. The mother explicitly alleged that Shraddha and her associates cornered her son and pushed him toward taking the extreme step.

A thorough analysis of Shraddha Dubey’s call detail records by police exposed deep ties to influential figures. Originally from Raebareli, the model reportedly maintained connections with top-tier political leadership across the state and nation. Furthermore, her network included over ten senior civil servants, alongside several prominent members of the Indian national cricket team. Following the incident, many of these individuals hastily unfollowed her on Instagram.

Panic set in for Dubey the moment hospital authorities declared Sharma dead upon arrival. According to police sources, she immediately summoned her former boyfriend, Amir, and fled the location alongside her sister Rashmi. Intelligence inputs suggest that Dubey has crossed the border into Nepal, prompting police teams to conduct raids across multiple potential hideouts to apprehend her.
