  "account": "Nearly two months after social media influencer Manjit Kaur was allegedly abducted, taken towards a forest near Morinda, tied to a tree and set on fire, police have a case with more questions than answers. The CCTV trail is largely gone, the vehicle is unidentified, and the victim is no longer alive. A postmortem revealed she was seven weeks pregnant. Kaur suffered severe burns and later died of sepsis at PGIMER, Chandigarh, on August 26. The police are working backward with limited evidence, and the missing vehicle is a major puzzle. The Chandigarh Police are investigating the case, which now spans Punjab-Chandigarh jurisdiction.",
