  "summary": "A newlywed couple, Shyam Hari Patil and Sapna Patil, were discovered dead in the Tapi River in Maharashtra’s Dhule district, with their legs chained together by an iron chain and padlock. The unusual circumstances have prompted police to investigate whether the deaths were a result of suicide or murder. The couple, who had married about four months earlier and were originally from Jalgaon district, were reportedly last heard from when Shyam called his brother-in-law at around 1am, saying \"everything was over\" before switching off his phone. Police have sent the bodies for post-mortem examinations to determine the cause of death, and are examining all possible angles of the investigation.",
