The police investigation into the death of 28-year-old Lucknow restaurant owner Shiva Sharma has taken a new turn after two video clips emerged online.

In the first clip, a female voice, apparently that of model Shraddha Dubey, is heard asking Shiva Sharma in a stern tone about the alleged theft of three gold chains and a bracelet worth approximately Rs 6 lakh.

According to a report by The Times of India, the woman asks Sharma when he stole the items, whether it was in September or October, and asks where in Lucknow's Chowk area he sold the jewellery. While mentioning that she is asking politely and has not yet called the police, she questions how much money he received from the sale, when he will return the amount, and whether his mother or anyone else knew about the matter.

In the second video, when asked about returning the money, Sharma states that he will repay it within a month.

"I'll return it in a month. I'm giving you this in writing. You can keep my car until then. I'll return the money and take it back," Sharma is heard saying in the video.

The video clips surfaced amid the ongoing case surrounding Sharma's death after he fell from the fourth floor of Awadh Green Apartments near Balu Adda in Lucknow's Hazratganj area on October 9, where he lived in a live-in relationship with Dubey.

Following a complaint by Sharma's mother, Lucknow Police registered a murder case against Shraddha Dubey, her sister Rashmi Dubey, driver Tanveer Ali (alias Danish), Adil, and other unidentified individuals.

Authorities have announced a Rs 25,000 reward each for information leading to the arrest of Shraddha, Rashmi, and Tanveer Ali.

Shraddha Dubey Threatens To Die By Suicide

In a separate video, Dubey threatened to die by suicide if the media kept blaming her.

"I have lost my person too. I had nothing to do with it. It was not a murder. I have not run away... I am extremely in a bad condition. I request the media not to spread rumours about me. One person has lost his life. If this continues, I will also die by suicide," she said.
