            // Perform deletion logic
            model("Post").deleteByKey(params.id);
            flashInsert(success="Post deleted successfully.");
            redirectTo(action="index");
        } else {
            // Handle non-DELETE request
            flashInsert(error="Invalid request method.");
            redirectTo(action="index");
        }
    }
