A gym trainer in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh committed a horrific crime, killing a woman and burying her body in the residential complex of the District Magistrate. The truth unfolded nearly four months later when the police captured the culprit and pressed for answers. According to authorities, the two were involved in a relationship, and a dispute led to the trainer's fatal wrath.
A woman named Ekta Gupta, aged 32, went to the gym at Green Park Stadium in Kanpur in June and never returned. Her husband, Rahul Gupta, lodged a complaint claiming that gym trainer Vimal Soni kidnapped her. Despite registering the case promptly, detectives struggled to find any leads.

Following his confession, authorities escorted Soni to the location.

Such extensive digging wasn't done in a single day.
What Do the Authorities Say?

The resulting altercation prompted the accused to strangle her in a car, later disposing of her body in the DM Collector district. This horrific sequence occurred last June.
