The body of a woman who had been missing for four months was recovered by police near the District Magistrate's residence in Kanpur. The accused, Vimal Soni, a gym trainer from the Green Park area, confessed to burying the body of the businessman's wife in a location designated for government officials' bungalows.

The victim, identified as Ekta, was reported missing on June 24, and subsequent investigations revealed she was deceased. 

"The incident occurred on 24 June. The victim used to go to the accused's gym to train... The victim was particularly displeased about something and had a heated argument with the accused, after which the latter murdered her and buried her here... He dug a pit here and buried her body... He tried to mislead the case but when we interrogated him strictly, he revealed the truth," Deputy Commissioner of Police (North Kanpur) Shravan Kumar Singh told reporters.
