Police suspect foul play, two people detained

According to reports, police officials are treating this shocking incident as suspicious, with preliminary investigations pointing towards foul play. Authorities are exploring the possibility that the fire was intentionally set due to personal enmity, given Yadav's involvement in real estate.

In the wake of the tragic incident, Yadav's family has filed a complaint, which has led to the detention of two individuals reported to be friends of the victim.

Investigators are delving into the background of these individuals and examining potential motives related to a dispute over jewelry transactions, as per reports.
