  "account": "Indore resident Advait Upadhyay, a 31-year-old techie, went missing during a solo trek near Bengaluru last week. The Bengaluru Police are actively searching for him, with over 70 personnel from various departments, including the police, forest department, fire and emergency services, and the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), involved in the operation. Upadhyay, who worked at a financial firm in Whitefield, was last seen on August 7 while trekking in Shivagange. His family suspects he may have been kidnapped and harmed by robbers, as he went alone. CCTV footage shows him climbing the hills, and a drone spotted a possible human body in dense vegetation, leading the police to believe he may have been dead. Madhya Pradesh Police have offered to assist in the investigation.",
  "summary": "A resident of Begur area, Advait Upadhyay reportedly informed his fiancée of his Shivagange trekking plan.",
