Murdered by gym instructor, UP businessman's wife's body recovered from Kanpur’s VVIP area after 4 months
Kanpur (UP): Police have found the body of a woman near the Kanpur District Magistrate's bungalow, four months after her alleged murder, media reports said.
The woman had been reported missing on June 24, and investigators later confirmed her death.
Vimal Soni, a gym trainer from the Green Park area, admitted during police questioning to burying the body of the businessman's wife in a government officials' residential area, reported NDTV.
Soni, a resident of Kanpur's Raipurwa locality, led police to the location where the body was unearthed.
DCP (North Kanpur) Shravan Kumar Singh told reporters said that the woman was allegedly disappointed as the man was soon going to tie the knot, according to the NDTV report.
She went to meet Soni at the gym after 20 days of absence and the two had left the place into the car to have a conversation.
However, an argument erupted between them and the man punched the woman in the neck, following which she fainted. He then murdered her.
Singh stated that tracking Soni was challenging as he did not use a mobile phone.
Investigation teams were sent to Pune, Agra, and Punjab in the search.
According to the report, police are also looking into whether Soni took the jewellery the woman had been wearing.
The case, registered at the Kotwali district police station, is under investigation.
Legal proceedings are underway as all potential leads are explored, police added.
