Model Shraddha Dubey, her sister and driver arrested in Lucknow cafe owner Shiva Sharma's death case
Model Shraddha Dubey, her sister and her driver were arrested in the case of the death of Lucknow cafe owner Shiva Sharma, Hindustan Times reported on 20 October. The three had been untraceable since 9 October. Shiva Sharma died on 9 October after a fall, according to the report. The excerpt did not give the charges or the circumstances of the fall.
Arrests after several days of absconding move a case from search to questioning, where the police must establish what happened on 9 October and who was involved.
For Lucknow residents, the case concerns a local cafe owner and will be followed through police statements and court appearances.
The police account treats the arrests as progress after the three could not be found for eleven days.
The reports so far do not establish guilt, and the three are, at this stage, arrested persons in a case still being investigated.
Confirmed: three arrests and Sharma's death on 9 October. Not confirmed: charges, cause of the fall or motive. Watch for the court's remand order.
