  "account": "Mukesh, a 50-year-old man from Kanadiya village, lost his life in a hit-and-run incident on Nemawar Road around 5.30 pm on Saturday. An unidentified vehicle struck his motorcycle from behind as he was riding to his in-laws' home to collect his wife. The accident occurred on a bridge under Khudel police station limits, causing Mukesh to be thrown off the bridge onto the ground below as his motorcycle remained on the flyover. Paramedics arrived at the scene but were unable to revive him, declaring him dead upon arrival at the hospital.\n\nThe family's grief was further compounded in the aftermath when they decided to store Mukesh's body in the mortuary freezer of a private hospital. However, it was discovered that the cooling unit had not been switched on, leading to the body decomposing and emitting a foul odor by morning. When the family confronted the hospital administration over the negligence, they reportedly faced verbal abuse from the staff, which sparked angry protests at the hospital premises. Police were called to the scene, who managed to appease the family and transferred the body for an autopsy.\n\nIn another tragic incident, 24-year-old Manoj Thakre took his own life in the Sanwer Road area. Thakre, a resident of Bhawani Nagar Colony, had recently married and worked for a private company. It was alleged that he consumed a poisonous substance on Saturday night and informed his younger brother about his decision. The family rushed him to Aurobindo Hospital, and later to Index Hospital, where he sadly succumbed to his injuries. A suicide note was recovered from Thakre's possession, in which he accused his wife and her family of harassment. He also claimed that his wife was involved in an illicit relationship with her elder brother-in-law. According to the note, Thakre expressed his helplessness due to financial constraints and threats of violence against him and his family.",
