  "account": "In a shocking incident that unfolded on Tuesday night, a 60-year-old stock broker named Rajesh Khanna was murdered in his home in Rohini, Delhi. The motive behind his murder was the discovery of a Rs 80 lakh flat sale deal, of which everyone in his family was aware, including his 23-year-old niece, Simran Taneja. Simran allegedly approached three others, including a gym owner, Himanshu, to carry out the heinous plan. On Tuesday evening, the four individuals entered Khanna's residence, intending to steal the cash and jewelry from the house. However, they were only able to find Rs 1 lakh and some jewelry, whereas the rest of the money was missing. As Khanna's wife returned from grocery shopping, she found her husband unconscious and dead. The four suspects then fled the scene with the stolen items. Police have arrested the four accused and are now questioning them to determine their involvement in the crime.",
