  "account": "Lucknow police are actively searching for a model and social media influencer, along with four others, in connection with the suspected murder of cafe owner Shiva Sharma. The 27-year-old cafe owner died after falling from the fourth floor of an apartment on October 9. Initially, the incident was suspected to be accidental, but allegations of assault and torture by Sharma's family prompted police to launch a murder investigation. Police have issued arrest warrants for Sharma’s live-in partner Shraddha Dubey, her sister, their driver, and two other individuals in relation to the case. The family of Sharma alleges that he was held captive, brutally assaulted, and thrown from the building, sustaining multiple injuries including fractures and cigarette-burn marks. Dubey, who has a background in fashion blogging, modelling and events, had been harassing Sharma for the past four to five months and reportedly threatened to harm him and frame him in false cases. Six teams have been formed to locate the three accused absconding. The police are investigating all aspects to establish the facts surrounding Sharma's death.",
