  "account": "CHHATRAPATI SAMBHAJINAGAR: After the tragic death of 18-year-old Kunal Chandgude along with his parents from a cliff in Khavdya Dongar, his aunt has spoken out against false claims circulating on social media. Pallavi Patil, sister of Kunal's mother Sangeeta, released an emotional video rejecting the notion that Kunal forced his parents to take their lives due to not receiving an iPhone. She questioned why people were spreading unverified information without any knowledge of the family's circumstances. The aunt emphasized that only her family knew the true story and that the false claims were causing immense pain to her elderly parents. The Chandgude family, already grieving the loss of three loved ones, now faces additional trauma from the spread of false information.",
