UP Cafe Owner Shiva Sharma's Suspicious Death Involves Injury and Burn Marks

Shiva Sharma’s Suspicious Death in Lucknow

The death of 28-year-old Lucknow-based cafe owner Shiva Sharma has raised questions following an incident on October 9, 2026, where he fell from his girlfriend Shraddha Dubey’s fourth-floor flat in the Hazratganj area. Shiva's mother, Ranjana Sharma, has accused the girlfriend and claimed foul play in his death.

Allegations of Abuse and Burn Marks

Ranjana Sharma alleged that Shraddha Dubey threatened to circulate obscene videos of Shiva and defame him, and that Shiva faced physical violence during the relationship. According to Ranjana's complaint, she previously noticed injury marks that Shiva avoided discussing. Upon seeing her son's body, she observed multiple injury marks, including cigarette burn marks on his ribs, shoulders, arms, and thighs, leading her to believe he was assaulted prior to his death.
