Shraddha Dubey, the main accused in the widely-reported murder case of Lucknow-based businessman Shiva Sharma, has moved the court with a surrender petition following the issuance of a non-bailable warrant against her.
According to sources, Dubey submitted the surrender application to the court two days prior to it being formally presented. The move comes as she has reportedly returned to Uttar Pradesh after a period in Nepal, signaling her intention to cooperate with judicial proceedings.
The case has drawn significant public attention in Lucknow, with investigators having pursued the accused extensively. The filing of the surrender petition represents a shift in the legal proceedings, with Dubey now seeking to appear before the court rather than remain a fugitive.
Details regarding the exact circumstances of her return from Nepal and the timeline of events leading to the petition remain unclear. The court is expected to take cognizance of the surrender petition in due course and proceed with the legal proceedings accordingly.
The case continues to remain under active investigation, with authorities working to establish the full sequence of events in the businessman's death.
