Fall, push or jump? Police to reconstruct final moments of Shiva Sharma

The emergence of CCTV footage has added a fresh dimension to the case

Lucknow: The post-mortem report of 28-year-old restaurant owner Shiva Sharma , who died after falling from the fourth floor of Awadh Green Apartment near Balu Adda on Oct 9, records multiple external and internal injuries consistent with impact against a hard surface, as police continue to probe whether he jumped, was pushed or fell accidentally.

A copy of the post-mortem report reviewed by TOI lists 11 numbered entries detailing external injuries and six broad categories of internal findings. Ranjana told police she received a call from Adil around 7 pm on Oct 9 saying Sharma’s condition had worsened and he was being taken to King George’s Medical University.

Police said they are studying the medical findings along with CCTV footage and witness statements and are considering a crime scene recreation to reconstruct the sequence of events. Ranjana also alleged Dubey had harassed Sharma for months, threatening false cases and reputational harm, and used blackmail and violence to pressure him to continue the relationship, allegations police said are yet to be established. The report notes tears in both lungs, as well as injuries to the liver and spleen, substantial internal bleeding and a fracture of the right pelvic bone. Doctors attributed the death to shock and haemorrhage resulting from the injuries. Hazratganj police have registered an FIR on the basis of her complaint. She alleged that when the family reached KGMU, those who had accompanied him showed him from a distance before fleeing, after which doctors declared him dead.
