Lucknow Shocker: Viral Audio Reveals Death Threats in Shiva Sharma Case
A shocking audio recording has emerged in the Shiva Sharma murder case, featuring threats from accused Shraddha Dubey.
The investigation into the mysterious death of 28-year-old businessman Shiva Sharma has taken a dramatic turn with the emergence of a viral audio recording. The recording allegedly captures a heated exchange between the deceased restaurant owner and his live-in partner, Shraddha Dubey, who is currently the prime accused in the case.
Shiva Sharma died on October 9, 2026, after falling from the fourth floor of an apartment located in the Hazratganj area of Lucknow. While the circumstances of the fall were initially under scrutiny, this new evidence adds a chilling layer to the narrative.
Threats and Ultimatums: What the Audio Reveals
In the surfaced audio, Shraddha Dubey is allegedly heard using abusive language and issuing explicit threats against Sharma. The recording suggests a conflict over business and personal ego, with Dubey reportedly stating, "You are cutting my patrons... the whole city knows I will kill you like a dog, I have recorded your gold work."
Beyond the threat of physical violence, the audio indicates that Dubey threatened to leak a video to damage his reputation, citing an injured ego as the motivation. It is important to note that the authenticity of this recording has not yet been independently verified by Prime News, though it has become a central point of public discussion.
Police Shake-up Amid Negligence Claims
The handling of the case has sparked significant controversy, leading to a major administrative overhaul within the Lucknow police force. Following allegations of negligence in the initial stages of the investigation, three senior officers have been transferred:
- DCP Vikrant Veer has been attached to the DGP office.
- ACP Rajneesh Verma has been moved to the crime branch.
- Inspector Vikram Singh of the Hazratganj police station has been sent to the police line.
The Manhunt Intensifies
Law enforcement agencies are currently on a high-alert search for the absconding suspects. To expedite the arrests, authorities have doubled the bounty for the capture of the main accused. The reward for providing information leading to the arrest of Shraddha Dubey, her sister Rashmi Dubey, and an individual identified as Tanveer (alias Danish) has been increased from ₹25,000 to ₹50,000 each.
The Fugitive's Defense
Despite being a wanted fugitive, Shraddha Dubey has not remained silent. She has released several videos via social media, vehemently denying the murder allegations. In these clips, she maintains that Shiva Sharma committed suicide and claims she is willing to cooperate with the police investigation.
Reports regarding her whereabouts remain elusive. Intelligence suggests that the accused may have crossed the Sonauli border into Nepal. In a strange twist, there were reports that Dubey and her co-accused were spotted at the Lucknow High Court this past Sunday, only to vanish once again before they could be apprehended.
