The accused, Kandel, was located and detained by Austin police within a short time, and he confessed to stabbing Gupta as he “resembled his uncle.” He was booked into the Travis County Jail and has been charged with first Degree Murder.
The investigation showed the suspect, Deepak Kandel, had been sitting next to Akshay on the bus when, without provocation, Kandel stabbed him in the neck. Once the bus was stopped, Kandel calmly exited the bus with the other passengers and left the scene on foot.
