Lucknow Horror: Millionaire Businessman Tortured Before Death
Chilling details emerge as Lucknow police reveal the torture businessman Shiva Sharma endured before his death. Three suspects are in custody.
The investigation into the death of 28-year-old cafe owner and businessman Shiva Sharma has taken a gruesome turn. Lucknow police have uncovered chilling details revealing that the millionaire was subjected to extreme physical and mental torture before he fell to his death from the fourth floor of the Avadh Green Apartment in Hazratganj on October 9, 2026.
A Nightmare Before the Fall
Following the arrest of primary suspect and model Shraddha Dubey, along with her sister Rashmi Dubey and their driver Tanveer Ali (also known as Danish) in Nagpur, police interrogations have painted a harrowing picture of Sharma's final hours. The evidence suggests that the businessman was treated with utter cruelty and degradation.
Investigators revealed that Shraddha Dubey allegedly forced Sharma to strip and perform humiliating acts. In a bid to strip him of his dignity, he was reportedly forced to dance and compelled to press her feet, treating the successful businessman like a servant.
Evidence of Brutality
The physical evidence found during the probe is equally disturbing. Police confirmed that Sharma’s body had been defaced with lipstick. Furthermore, authorities are currently investigating additional injuries on the victim's body, including wounds that appear to have been inflicted by burning cigarettes.
Legal Proceedings and Forensic Push
The legal battle is intensifying as the three accused remain behind bars. During a recent hearing conducted via video conference, the Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) court extended the judicial custody of Shraddha, Rashmi, and Tanveer until November 13, 2026.
To solidify the case, the police are now preparing for a comprehensive forensic investigation at the crime scene—the suspect's flat. This move aims to recover any overlooked physical evidence that could link the suspects to the torture and the subsequent fall.
Justice for the Victim
The victim's mother, Ranjana Sharma, who first filed the murder complaint, has been kept in the loop regarding the investigation. In a gesture of transparency, the police have assured her that she will be present during the forensic examination of the flat to ensure that every piece of evidence is meticulously documented.
