  "summary": "The Miss Universe India 2026 pageant has come under scrutiny following allegations made by Anushri Satavlekar, who finished as the second runner-up. Satavlekar has claimed that the crown was sold and that the outcome of the pageant had been planned, according to Live Mint. In response, Nikhil Anand, the National Director of Miss India Universe and chairman of the Glam Anand Group, has reportedly sought clarification from Satavlekar over her allegations. The claims have placed the pageant's selection process and organisational practices under scrutiny, though the allegations remain unverified in the available information.",
