Judicial custody has been extended for Shradha Dube, the primary accused in the Shiva Sharma death case, along with her sister Rashmi Dube and an associate driver. All three remain in jail pending further proceedings.
The decision marks an unusual turn in the investigation, as police have opted not to seek police custody remand (PCR) for interrogation purposes despite the serious nature of the allegations. PCR typically allows law enforcement to conduct intensive questioning of suspects in custody at police facilities.
The extension of judicial custody means the accused will remain under the supervision of the court system rather than police detention. This development suggests investigators may rely on evidence already collected or pursue alternative methods of gathering information in the case.
The Shiva Sharma death case has drawn significant public attention. The judicial custody extension comes as the investigation continues to take shape, with authorities weighing their next steps in the inquiry.
