People often wonder, or ask themselves, what goes on in a killer's mind before, during, or after committing a murder? What do they think, and how do they feel? Numerous studies worldwide have attempted to provide answers, and the findings are astonishing. This is the story of such a killer, who committed not one or two, but five murders.
November 5, 2024
– the day when four bodies were found in a home in Varanasi. The victims were a mother, two sons, and a daughter. Slightly farther away, the body of Rajendra Gupta, the head of the family, was found. The common thread was that all the deceased belonged to the same family and were shot in the head. The news left everyone shocked, and people mourned the abrupt end of a happy family.
Unveiling a 34-Year-Old Tale
– The police's investigation into the mass murder uncovered a 34-year-old story. It was discovered that 34 years ago, Rajendra Gupta shot his younger brother and his wife in the head. He later killed his own father. It was the same younger brother whose three children – two sons and a daughter – were raised by Rajendra. He constantly abused them. Time passed, and the three children grew up.
Three Murders Witnessed at a Young Age
– The daughter got married, and the two sons moved to Delhi for work, securing jobs at an IT company. One of these brothers was Vishal Gupta, also known as Vicky Gupta. When Vicky's parents and grandfather were murdered, he witnessed all three killings. He never could forget the scene. Last year, during Diwali, Vicky returned home and took revenge for the 34-year-old grudge by killing Rajendra Gupta and four members of his family.
Vishal's Capture after Five Murders
– Vishal shot all five people in the head in the same place where Rajendra had killed his parents and grandfather. Vicky then disappeared, hiding in various cities for three months. He was finally captured, and during his arrest, he narrated the three phases of his life, which concluded with five murders.

Lost Parents at Age Seven
– After this crime, Vishal, aka Vicky's story unravels. During this, his face and behavior remained calm. Vishal Gupta, also known as Vicky, is highly educated and works at an IT company. His life can be segmented into three parts. The first part is his childhood, when he was only 7 and watched his parents and grandfather being murdered.
The Act of Revenge
– The second phase is from childhood to adolescence, when he was raised in the home of his parents' and grandfather's murderer, witnessing and enduring endless torment on himself and his siblings. Then came the third phase when Vishal single-handedly committed five murders.
An Intriguing Case Study
– What does a killer think after committing murder? Do they feel any remorse? Believe it or not, Vicky makes a fascinating case study. As he sat in custody at a Varanasi police station, being interrogated by an officer, questions were asked.
No Regret for Vishal
– During this time, there was no wrinkle on his face, no fear in his eyes, no hesitation in his voice. Despite committing five murders in one night, Vicky showed no remorse. It's not that Vicky is a seasoned criminal or killer; this was his first crime. Perhaps this is why his face showed no harshness or cunning after his capture. Instead, there was a strange sense of calm.
