Jealous lover traps, murders girl's friend using fake Insta a/c
Nagpur: A chilling tale of jealousy and betrayal unfolded in Nagpur's Pitesure area of Gorewada forest on Saturday night, where 20-year-old hotel management student Aman Dhruvanshi was brutally stabbed to death. The murder came to light on Sunday. The prime suspect, Lucky Mendwar, a housekeeper consumed by romantic jealousy, allegedly orchestrated the murder, mistakenly believing Dhruvanshi was a rival for his estranged girlfriend's affection. Mendwar, along with accomplices Sulabh Thakur, Abhishek Katariya, and a minor, has been rounded up, police confirmed. The incident stemmed from Mendwar's deteriorating relationship with his girlfriend, who had distanced herself from him. Convinced that her close friend, Dhruvanshi, was the reason for the rift, Mendwar devised a sinister plan. He created a fake Instagram account in his girlfriend's name to lure Dhruvanshi, a Shimla-based student visiting Nagpur for vacation, into a trap. Unaware of the deception, Dhruvanshi, who studied in the same class as the girlfriend, starting interacting with the fake account, believing it was his friend.
