  "account": "In a tragic incident in Gurgaon, Yuvraj Singh Manchanda, a project manager at Adani Realty, was allegedly murdered by his former colleagues Anya Vats and Sanyam Sachdeva on September 6. The family of Yuvraj only discovered his body six days later on September 10 after it was found by Haryana Police in a drain.

Yuvraj had even recently purchased a sherwani for his wedding, scheduled for October, just hours before his untimely demise.",
