Cofessing his crime, Vivek Soni told the police, "On Ekta’s insistence, I started training her in the gym. It was in April that Ekta Gupta and I started talking. She would call me multiple times daily to discuss health matters. Soon, we began meeting outside the gym, often taking walks in the evening. Whenever I used to talk to her about my marriage, she would get angry. Then we would not talk for many days. I would convince her by cajoling her."

On the crime day, June 24, 2024, Ekta and Vivek had a heated argument as she arrived at the gym after a 20-day absence. “I tried to reason with her, but she started screaming loudly.I thought she would regain consciousness in some time, but she had died. I got scared. I started thinking about where to dispose of the body," revealed Soni.

“I placed Ekta’s body in the back seat of the car and obtained a shovel. Driving into the DM compound, I parked my car without arousing suspicion since I was a frequent visitor to the area, and under the cover of darkness, I dug a pit approximately five feet deep and two and a half feet wide and buried Ekta’s body," he confessed.
