Samar Singh will soon be taken to Varanasi. Reportedly, Akanksha and Samar were in a relationship. According to PTI, Lawyer Shashak Shekhar Tripathi, who has taken up the case for the actress's mother Madhu Dubey, has raised a question mark on the post-mortem report and said that he was seeking the advice of medical experts and based on it preparing questions for the police.


Tripathi had on Wednesday demanded a probe by the CBI or CB-CID into the matter. In a letter to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, he alleged that the 25-year-old actress' death was not by suicide, rather she was killed by some people in the hotel room.



He also 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. Many known people in the Bhojpuri industry were exploiting Dubey and were not paying her for her work, the lawyer alleged.


The 25-year-old had featured in several regional films including 'Kasam Paida Karne Wale Ki 2', 'Mujhse Shaadi Karogi' (Bhojpuri) and 'Veeron ke Veer'.
