During the police investigation into the death of young Lucknow businessman Shiva Sharma, extremely horrific and shocking details have emerged. According to an Aaj Tak report, police officials were stunned to hear what happened to Shiva Sharma on the night of 9 October in a flat on the fourth floor of Awadh Green Apartment in Hazratganj. In this case, the police have arrested Shraddha, her sister Rashmi, and driver Tanveer alias Danish. According to the confession made by the accused after about 6 hours of intensive interrogation, Shiva was subjected to inhumane torture before being put to death.
Police investigation revealed that Shraddha wanted to extort money from Shiva and for this, she was constantly subjecting him to mental and physical torture. On the night of 9 October, Shraddha called Shiva to her flat and held him hostage. The accused stripped Shiva naked, applied lipstick all over his body, and forced him to dance in front of everyone. Not only this, Shiva was also branded with cigarette burns and was subjected to extreme humiliation. Shraddha was deriving a kind of perverted pleasure by indulging in such acts.
In this entire incident, along with Shraddha, her sister Rashmi, driver Danish, and Shraddha's close friend Aamir were also involved. Initially, during the interrogation by the police, the accused hid Aamir's name, but the investigation has made it clear that he was also present in the flat that night. Shraddha was not just torturing Shiva on the night of 9 October, but had been doing so for many days. She used her reach and influence to threaten to send Shiva to jail forever. Shraddha had some objectionable and private photos of Shiva, based on which she was constantly blackmailing him.
Another shocking fact has emerged in the investigation that to break Shiva mentally, Shraddha used to make him do strange tasks and even made him press her feet in front of everyone. Shraddha's nature was such that she used her connections to influence people and use them arbitrarily. She would get photos taken with senior officials and use those photos to intimidate people. She had kept all these photos safe in a secret pen drive.
According to the police, Shraddha often visited a cafe in Lucknow's Kisan Bazaar and smoked hookah there. In this cafe, she used to target wealthy young men through whom she could get financial or other benefits. Shiva Sharma also met Shraddha at this same cafe. Currently, the owner of this cafe is absconding and the police are searching for him. The police suspect that the cafe owner could also be an important confidant in Shraddha's dark deeds. The entire network of Shraddha and the blackmailing game played by her are currently being investigated by the police, so that the names of other people involved in this case can also be revealed.
