A Nagpur court on Wednesday, 21 October granted three-day transit remand to Uttar Pradesh Police for model Shraddha Dubey, 31, her sister Rashmi Dubey and their driver Tanveer Ali alias Danish, arrested a day earlier in the suspected murder of Lucknow cafe owner Shiva Sharma. Police have left for Lucknow with all three accused, the Times of India reports. Dubey, her sister and their driver were arrested from a flat on Wardha Road in Nagpur on Tuesday, 20 October, by a joint team of the Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force and Lucknow Police with the help of Nagpur Crime Branch. Each carried a reward of Rs 50,000. Sharma, 28, died on 9 October after falling from a fourth-floor apartment in Lucknow's Hazratganj area. An FIR under BNS Section 103(1) was registered on 10 October following a murder complaint by Sharma's mother, Ranjana Sharma. Dubey had been on the run for 11 days. Police said she evaded arrest by consistently wearing a burqa, minimising device use and staying in low-end hotels with minimal surveillance. The investigation continues. Update, 21 October 2026: Times of India reports the Nagpur court granted three-day transit remand on Wednesday, 21 October, and police have left for Lucknow with all three accused. Hindustan Times adds that the mother of the victim, Ranjana Sharma, thanked the police and CM Yogi Adityanath. Both sources report that Dubey evaded arrest by wearing a burqa and minimising device use.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

The coverage of Shraddha Dubey's arrest is uniform straight reporting across all four outlets, wire agency copy being the common thread. India TV adds the most detail on the purported audio threats, Hindustan Times and Times of India include the mother's reaction and remand details, and Mid-day keeps its version brief. Every source reports the same core facts: the 20 October arrest from a Wardha Road flat, the 11-day manhunt, the three accused, the Rs 50,000 reward, and the murder charge under BNS Section 103(1). No outlet adopts a critical or government-critical stance on this story. Times of India advances the narrative beyond the arrest, reporting that a Nagpur court granted three-day transit remand on Wednesday, 21 October, and that police have left for Lucknow with all three accused. That next step, remand granted and the accused en route to Lucknow, is the concrete development to follow.
