In the latest development in Bhojpuri actor Akanksha Dubey’s suicide case, the Uttar Pradesh government on Saturday arrested Bhojpuri singer-actor Samar Singh for his alleged involvement in the actor’s death.

The singer was nabbed by the team from the Sarnath police station of the Varanasi Commissionerate with the help of Ghaziabad police. As per the reports, Samar was caught by the police from the Charms Castle (housing) society which is located in the Nandgram area of Ghaziabad — the western Uttar Pradesh district bordering Delhi.

The Varanasi Police on Thursday issued a lookout notice against Samar Singh and another Bhojpuri singer Sanjay Singh who has also been named as an accused in the Akanksha Dubey suicide case.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (Ghaziabad City) Nipun Agarwal said the accused is being presented in a Ghaziabad court for transit remand by the Varanasi police team.

Akanksha Dubey’s mother Madhu Dubey filed a police complaint against Samar Singh for allegedly killing her daughter. In a complaint, she alleged that Samar did not pay any amount of money to Akanksha despite working with Samar for three years.

She said Samar owed her Rs 3 crore and when Akanksha used to ask for it, Samar used to torture and thrash her. He also used to harass her whenever she tried to work with other artists.

The 25-year-old actor was found hanging in a Varanasi hotel room on March 26. She had gone to Varanasi to film a movie and was staying in a hotel.

Madhu Dubey’s lawyer Shashak Tripathi alleged that Akansha’s body was forcibly cremated despite her mother’s insistence that the cremation should happen only after the post-mortem report arrives. He demanded a probe by the CBI or CB-CID into the matter.
