Shraddha Dubey, Lucknow Influencer Accused Of Killing Lover, Arrested

A 28-year-old restaurant chain owner died after falling from the fourth floor of an apartment building in Lucknow on October 9. The victim's mother filed a police complaint accusing a fashion blogger and model, along with others, of murdering her son after months of alleged physical assault, threats, blackmail, and harassment over marriage disagreements. Police registered a murder case at Lucknow's Hazratganj Police Station.

Following the incident, the main accused, her sister, and their driver went missing, prompting a manhunt involving the Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force, Lucknow Police, and other forces. Investigators reported that the suspects fled across borders to Nepal, re-entered Uttar Pradesh through Maharajganj, and traveled through several locations including Agra and Rae Bareli before finally being tracked down in Nagpur, Maharashtra.

During their time on the run, the accused released social media videos and audio clips denying involvement in the death. The accused claimed that the victim died by suicide due to financial stress and debts, and alleged that false charges were being made due to family disapproval of the relationship. Authorities announced cash rewards for information leading to the arrests of the suspects.

A joint operation by the Uttar Pradesh STF, Lucknow Police, and Nagpur Police successfully apprehended the three suspects in Nagpur. Following their arrest and questioning, authorities arranged to bring them back to Lucknow on transit remand to be produced in court while investigators continue to examine CCTV footage, forensic leads, and the conflicting claims from both sides.

Not yet reported: The reports do not specify the final court rulings, official forensic findings regarding the cause of death, or the exact financial status of the victim's alleged debts.
