In a significant development in a high-profile death case, a wanted accused has come forward with fresh claims about the circumstances surrounding businessman Shiva Sharma's death in Lucknow. The fugitive, who has been evading arrest, released a video statement asserting that Sharma died by suicide rather than being murdered, contradicting the charges filed against her.
The accused, carrying a bounty of Rs 25,000 on her head, indicated her intention to present her version of events to investigating authorities. The video statement marks the first direct communication from the fugitive since her disappearance following Sharma's death.
