  "account": "On Wednesday night, a couple checked into the Prince Hotel in North Delhi’s Lahori Gate area. By Thursday morning, 28-year-old Shivani had tragically lost her life due to multiple stab wounds, while her lover Prakash, also 28, was discovered unconscious after apparently consuming poison, according to police. Hotel staff grew suspicious when the couple failed to respond to their calls, prompting them to enter the room with a spare key and uncover the dire scene. DCP (North) Niharika Bhatt disclosed, \"We received information at Lahori Gate police station that a man and a woman were found unconscious at Hotel Prince. A police team immediately reached the spot. The woman bore multiple stab wounds.\" Both individuals were rushed to the hospital, where Shivani was pronounced dead upon arrival. Prakash is currently receiving medical treatment. Police confirmed that Shivani hailed from Bihar’s Samastipur, while Prakash originated from Rajasthan. Initial indications suggest Prakash had ingested a liquid poison before proceeding to stab Shivani multiple times. Authorities are now attempting to establish communication with Shivani’s family and are investigating whether Prakash brought a knife with him as part of a premeditated murder. DCP Bhatt added, \"Further investigation is underway to ascertain the exact sequence of events and circumstances surrounding the incident.\"",
