The funeral of an IIT engineer took place in Rajghat, Gorakhpur. He often ordered food from Swiggy and Zomato, but a fire broke out on his bike.

Abhishek Tripathi was found dead on Friday in Malhar Apartment, located in Sahara State, Gorakhpur. His last rites were performed on Saturday. His brother-in-law lit the funeral pyre at Rajghat around 1:00 PM. According to family members, Abhishek's younger brother, Ambrish, was delayed in reaching Gorakhpur from America. This is why the cremation was held in the afternoon itself. It was reported that Ambrish would reach Gorakhpur by evening.
