In Uttar Pradesh's Gorakhpur, 19-year-old student Deepak Gupta was tragically murdered by cattle smugglers. Recently surfaced videos reveal smugglers attempting to load cattle onto a pickup/DCM truck using ropes. It is reported that during pursuit of this truck, Deepak was kidnapped by the smugglers, who later threw him from a moving vehicle, leading to his death. Deepak was preparing for the NEET exam.
The incident occurred in Jungle Dhusad village of Gorakhpur's Pipraich area. Last night, cattle smugglers stealthily entered the village, untying livestock from outside homes. Upon hearing the noise, there was an uproar. Deepak Gupta fiercely chased these smugglers; however, the smugglers kidnapped him and fled in their pickup truck.
As villagers began their search, Deepak's bloodied body was found about 4 kilometers away, inciting outrage in the community.

One smuggler, however, fell into the villagers' hands and was severely beaten until the police intervened to save him.
