A fashion influencer is at the centre of a murder probe after her boyfriend suffered 10 serious internal injuries before plunging to his death from her fourth-floor flat.
Restaurant tycoon Shiva Sharma died on Friday (9 October) after falling from the apartment where social media influencer Shraddha Dubey lived.
The 28-year-old’s death has sparked a murder investigation, with officers examining CCTV footage, private messages and a mystery Audi that arrived at the building shortly after the fall.

A post-mortem report found Sharma died from shock and haemorrhage caused by his injuries, as reported by Need To Know.
It said they could have been caused by an impact against a hard, rough surface, but could not establish how much time passed between the injuries and his death.
His mum, Ranjana Sharma, has accused Dubey of murder, alleging her son was held captive and brutally assaulted before being thrown from the building in Lucknow, India.
She claimed his body bore cigarette burns and scratches, with fractures to his jaw, the areas around both eyes, his ribs and a leg.
Police have registered a murder case against Dubey, her sister Rashmi, their driver Tanveer Ali, also known as Danish, and two other people.
Investigators have reportedly recovered sex toys and sexual enhancement drugs from the flat, while CCTV captured a white Audi arriving at the apartment complex around 15 minutes after the fall.
Officers are working to identify who was inside the vehicle and why it visited the building.
Dubey, reportedly in her twenties, has around 141,000 Instagram followers and built her online profile around fashion, modelling and luxury lifestyle content.
She has organised India Glamorous Runway Week in Lucknow, won a title at Delhi’s U&I International Face of Fashion Week and also featured in a music video.
She was previously married and has a son, according to reports.
Police have announced rewards for information leading to the arrests of Dubey, her sister and their driver.
