Four months after a woman went missing in Kanpur, police have recovered her body near the District Magistrate's residence, leading to the arrest of a gym trainer. According to authorities, the woman was killed in June. The trainer allegedly murdered her following a heated argument during a training session. Initially, he tried to mislead the police but ultimately confessed after intense interrogation.

The victim, identified as Ekta, was reported missing on June 24, with her husband filing a kidnapping complaint against the gym trainer, who then disappeared. When police apprehended Vimal, he provided inconsistent accounts about Ekta's whereabouts in Kashmir and Punjab. After prolonged questioning, he admitted to burying her on the grounds of a government club near the district magistrate's residences. Authorities quickly secured the area and conducted an overnight excavation with a heavy police presence.

"The victim used to train at the accused's gym... She was particularly displeased about something and had a heated argument with him, after which he murdered her and buried her here... He dug a pit and concealed her body. Although he tried to mislead the investigation, strict interrogation led him to reveal the truth," stated DCP East, Shravan Kumar Singh, according to ANI.
