    “Earlier this week video footage which was believed to be Mrs. Sharma was shared widely, however, the New Westminster Police Department can confirm that footage was not of Mrs. Sharma. We are asking that anyone with dash-cam footage who was driving over the Queensborough bridge on February 24th between 3:30 am and 5:00 am to please come forward.”
