In this episode of The Postmortem, anchor Pooja Shali examines two high-profile crime investigations from Uttar Pradesh. The first case revolves around the mysterious death of 28-year-old businessman Shiva Sharma, who fell from the fourth floor of Avadh Green Apartments in Lucknow's Hazratganj. His mother, Ranjana Sharma, has alleged that Shiva was tortured, blackmailed, and pushed to his death by his live-in partner, social media influencer Shraddha Dubey, and associates. Police have launched a manhunt and deployed multiple teams following clues leading toward the Nepal border and vehicle trails. The special report also focuses on the infamous Meerut Blue Drum murder case, where merchant navy professional Saurabh Rajput was drugged, stabbed, dismembered, and concealed in a cement-filled drum by his wife Muskaan Rastogi and her lover Sahil Shukla. Following a comprehensive trial comprising 126 hearings and 22 prosecution witnesses, the Meerut District Court awarded the death penalty to both convicts, subject to confirmation by the Allahabad High Court.
