She further said that Mahakal sought the help of Supriya Chaudhary (19), a student from Adgaon Devla, whom he had met through social media. As per the probe, Chaudhary created a fake Instagram profile under the alias "Payal Wargurde". She started to chat with Khandvi and pretended to have fallen in love with him. Once the victim was trapped emotionally, the accused then lured the victim to meet "Payal" in person.
