looks wrong to me....

how about 1.Nh6... then Be3 or Nd3+

Be3 move doesn't allow 3 move finish...
Nd3+ also doesn't allow 3 move mate...

Pranav, Be3 fails to Rd4 double check, similarly, Nd6+ (i hope that's what u mean) fails to Rxd6+. I hope now it's clear to you. The puzzles here are posted after very careful analysis from every angle.

1. Nh6 Be3 2. Rd4+ fails to kxd4.
However after 1. Nh6 Be3 there is an elegant two move mate for white, perhaps the most interesting line in the problem.

1.Nh6 Be3 2. Rd4+ as suggested in the previous comment indeed fails to kxd4.
I did not say the puzzle failed. Yes it is a good puzzle, especially rewarding is finding the correct line after 1. ... Be3 as I mentioned.
