Went to gym from home and never came back… Skeleton found four months later, learn the cinematic story of Kanpur murders

Even the police were shocked when such Kanpur murders came to light. When action was taken on the murder accused’s confession, it was as if a scene from the film Drishyam had stepped out of the reels and into real life. The suspense of this crime thriller-like story lasted for four months. Because on June 24, 2024, a woman who went to the gym from home never came back.

Gymnastics coach killed after fight

Ekta Gupta, 32, once came to the gym at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur. On June 24, when she did not come home, her husband filed a police complaint against fitness trainer Vimal Soni. Since the same day, the gym instructor has also been missing. Police suspect that Vimal Soni either kidnapped Ekta or she went with him voluntarily.

Four months later, on October 26, 2024, the defendant fitness coach was arrested by the police. Ekta was not with Vimal Soni when he was caught by the police. According to police, Vimal Soni claimed that he killed Ekta after a fight and dug a pit inside the DM building and buried the body. Police find it difficult to believe the news, but an investigation has begun. Police arrived at the scene with a forensic team. The excavation started in the presence of a senior police officer. At 12.30 that night, the skeleton came out of the pit and was identified by the family.

How bodies were buried in heavily guarded areas

In this case, Shravan Kumar, DCP East Zone, said that the team has done a good job and the criminals are ruthless and are absconding. Even though he left no evidence, we caught him. The case was filed four months ago and the defendant has stayed away from the police since then. Police consider the case a success, but family members have raised questions about how the criminals got to such a heavily guarded area and got there with the body.

Rahul Gupta, the husband of the deceased, said the body has been sent for forensic examination. Even after the body was discovered, many questions remained. Did the accused gym instructor do everything on his own? Was anyone else present? After arriving in the area where the judge and senior officials lived, did anyone help the defendant dispose of the body? Kanpur police are yet to connect many links in the film’s story.
