Kanpur Coaching Institute Owner Killed in Robbery by Close Friend in DisguisePreviousNext

In Kanpur, coaching institute owner Vijay Prakash Gupta was fatally injured during a robbery attempt by his close friend of 18 years, Mohit Dwivedi. Dwivedi disguised himself in a burqa to steal Gupta's gold chain and bracelet, leading to a scuffle that caused fatal head injuries. Police investigations, aided by extensive CCTV footage, identified Dwivedi, who had planned the crime for weeks and was arrested. Initial uncertainty about the cause of death was resolved through surveillance and forensic evidence.
