The trio was last traced to Mahim Nagar in Nepal, where CCTV cameras recorded them crossing a road and entering a bus station.
The reported Nepal trail has added a new dimension to the probe into the death of a 28-year-old businessman and restaurateur. Lucknow Police have announced a reward of 25,000 for information leading to Shraddha’s arrest.
Photographs circulating on social media and CCTV visuals said to show Shraddha with her sister Rashmi and an associate Adil have become the latest focus of scrutiny as police attempt to trace the trio’s route after Sharma’s death. Sources said they stayed at the facility overnight and left by bus the next morning, departing before cops could reach the spot. LUCKNOW: The search for absconding model-influencer Shraddha Dubey, the prime accused in the Shiva Sharma death case, has widened beyond India, with police following leads that place her in Nepal. Police have not issued an official confirmation of the identities of the people seen in the footage, and verification of the visuals remains part of the ongoing inquiry. Police believe the accused may have fled Lucknow soon after the incident. Police teams have been deployed at multiple locations to trace Shraddha, Rashmi and the third accused, while officials work to reconstruct their movements based on footage, photographs and other inputs.
Sharma died after falling from the fourth floor of an apartment building in Lucknow on Oct 9. His family has alleged foul play and accused Shraddha and others of involvement, allegations she has denied in public statements.
