Police sources said Shivani told investigators she had been living in Para area with another man. Sources said Shivani claimed she met him in Para and that he had urged her to return home on several occasions, but she did not. With Shivani now back, investigators are rechecking the entire case file, including the initial identification, the forensic process, and the steps taken after the cremation. The man has been identified as Javed, who reportedly maintains a municipal toilet in the locality.
Lucknow: A 28-year-old woman earlier presumed dead after her family identified a decomposed body as hers has returned to her parental home more than two years after she went missing, forcing police to reopen an investigation that had led to a dowry-death case against her in-laws and the cremation of an unidentified woman in her name. Shivani , a resident of Navikot Nandana village under BKT tehsil, reached her family home on Saturday, 27 months after she disappeared on May 2, 2024. Her sudden reappearance has revived questions around the recovery of a badly decomposed body from a drain behind IIM Road and the sequence of events that followed.
Pandey said Shivani will be produced before a magistrate and the investigation will proceed based on her statement. Police are now trying to establish where she stayed during the period she was missing, whether she left home voluntarily or was coerced, and what circumstances led to her return.
