  "account": "On July 15, a 35-year-old widow gave birth to a 10-month-old infant on a remote farm in Chhaparani village, Raigarh district. Her cousin discovered the woman critically injured and her daughter dead at the scene two days later. In a shocking case of rape and murder, the Chhattisgarh police have arrested a 65-year-old man, Bhikariram Nagvanshi, for the brutal crime. The accused was apprehended on August 6 after weeks of intense investigation. Despite the lack of eyewitnesses, police camped in the village, questioned residents, and deployed informants to gather intelligence. Forensic teams and a dog squad later inspected the crime scene and collected crucial evidence. During interrogation, Nagvanshi confessed to the crime after officers noticed a suspicious injury mark on his hand. The victim, suffering from mental health issues, was found with severe head and facial injuries, indicating she had been attacked with a heavy object. The accused entered the victim's house and raped her, strangling her infant daughter after he was interrupted. Nagvanshi is now charged with rape and double murder.",
