Expression for second post-Newtonian level gravitational deflection angle of massive particles is obtained in a model independent framework. Comparison of theoretical values with the observationally constructed values of post-Newtonian parameters for massive particles offers the future possibility of testing at that level competing gravitational theories as well as the equivalence principle. Advantage of studying gravitational deflection of massive particles over that of massless particles in testing gravity is discussed.
