{ "title": "Mumbai Murder Mystery Solved: 20-Year-Old's Gaming Addiction Led to Friend's Death", "article": "A chilling case of betrayal and murder has been cracked in Mumbai, six months after a 26-year-old man went missing. Rahul Kharvar, a resident of Kurla West, was allegedly drowned in the Mithi river by his 20-year-old friend, Ankit Shahu, who had defrauded him of ₹30,000 from his Provident Fund account. The police investigation revealed that Ankit, a self-proclaimed gaming addict, had taken ₹30,000 from Rahul's account and spent it on online gaming. When Rahul discovered the unauthorized withdrawal, he demanded the money back, but Ankit allegedly sent him a fake screenshot claiming the amount had been returned. The financial dispute led to a brutal murder, with Ankit pushing Rahul into the river near their residences while the latter was watching airplanes. The police have registered a case under various sections of the law, including murder, criminal breach of trust, and causing disappearance of evidence. The investigation was aided by strong technical evidence, including financial transaction records, call detail records, and tower location data that placed both men at the scene of the crime. The police are now working to recover Rahul's body from the Mithi river. Ankit's mother and Rahul worked in the same company, and their friendship had given Ankit access to Rahul's financial information. The police have arrested Ankit and are probing the case further to uncover any other potential accomplices."
