In Kanpur, a gym trainer committed a heinous crime four months ago by murdering a woman and burying her body on the DC House campus. His inspiration for this act came from Ajay Devgn's movie 'Drishyam', which he had previously watched. After committing the murder, he recalled a scene from 'Drishyam' and realized that burying the body in the highly secure DMC campus would make the police disbelieve any foul play.
In a scene reminiscent of a thriller, Kanpur police exhumed the woman's skeletal remains from the DC House campus in the dead of night. The gym trainer had buried her in June, so only bones remained. The deceased woman's identity was confirmed by her husband and brother using her clothes and hair, reigniting memories of a Bollywood crime drama.
Police sources state the suspect, Vimal Soni, confirmed that his sinister plan was inspired by 'Drishyam'. After the murder, buried the body in the DC compound. With frequent access over the years, he believed no one would suspect a crime at the secure government site.

The Full Story
Ekta Gupta, the 32-year-old wife of Kanpur businessman Rahul Gupta, routinely visited a Green Park area gym each morning. On June 24, she left home at 5:30 AM but never returned. Suspicion led her husband to file a kidnapping report against the gym trainer, although police claim a year-long affair existed between Ekta and Vimal Soni. When Vimal's marriage arrangements with another woman ignited Ekta's anger, a lethal altercation ensued, leaving Ekta dead and ultimately buried in the DC compound. Ekta’s husband disputes these claims, denying any extramarital involvement.
Police Probe into Security Lapses
A significant question arises: how the accused managed to dig a significant hole and conceal the body within the heavily secured DC house remains a puzzle. Authorities are investigating whether any government staff might have colluded in the crime.
