Lucknow:

An old video has surfaced of model Shraddha Dubey and her sister with Lucknow businessman Shiva Sharma, weeks before he fell to his death from an apartment on October 9.

The CCTV footage from August 4 shows 31-year-old Shraddha in a black-coloured dress, holding her partner Shiva's hand and walking down the stairs in what appeared to be the Awadh Green Apartment in Lucknow.

Her sister, Rashmi Dubey, in a pink satin pajama set, was also seen with them. The trio, recorded around 1:30 am, is believed to be going to a party.

Sharma, 28, died after allegedly falling from the balcony of a flat in the Awadh Green Apartment on October 9. The case was initially viewed as an accidental death but turned into a murder investigation after his family alleged that he had been assaulted and tortured before being thrown from the building.

The police then registered a murder case against them. 

On the run since his death, the two sisters and a driver, Danish, were arrested in Nagpur on October 20, and are currently in judicial custody 

Officials said the accused were believed to have gone to Nepal, then the Delhi National Capital Region, and thereafter Nagpur in Maharashtra.

The police had announced a reward of Rs 50,000 for information leading to their arrest.
