The Allahabad High Court has taken significant steps in the case surrounding the death of a Bhojpuri actor, who was found dead in a hotel room in Sarnath, Varanasi, on March 26, 2023. The court issued notices to Samar Singh, a Bhojpuri singer, and his brother Sanjay Singh, following a petition from the actor's mother, who alleges that her daughter was murdered rather than having died by suicide as initially ruled by police. The mother is seeking a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) inquiry into the circumstances of the death. A hearing is set for May 22, where the Station House Officer of Sarnath has been ordered to submit a counter affidavit. The actor had gained popularity through her roles in Bhojpuri films and social media, where she had a large following. A video surfaced shortly before her death, showing her in distress, raising further questions about the nature of her passing.
