The arrest of singer Samar Singh from Ghaziabad for abetment to suicide by Varanasi police marks a crucial milestone in the case of Bhojpuri actress Akanksha Dubey’s suicide. Singh, who was suspected of having a live-in relationship with Dubey, was on the run until he was captured by a Banaras-based squad. Sanjay Singh, the second accused in the case, is still being sought. Both singers were arrested after non-bailable warrants were issued against them for inciting violence. Dubey’s death sparked speculation, with some suggesting she was murdered rather than committing suicide.
Her lawyer has requested a probe into her death in a letter to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, stating that her body was forcibly burnt before a post-mortem result was ready. Dubey made waves a month ago when she uploaded images on social media with Samar Singh, confirming their romance on Valentine’s Day.
