Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday expressed his condolences to the family of Infosys employee Raghavendran Ganeshan, who was reported dead, after he went missing since March 22 during the Brussels attacks.

"A young life, full of hope and promise cut short by mindless violence. Condolences to family of Raghavendran," Prime Minister Modi tweeted.

According to reports, his body was found by the Belgian authorities in the metro train at Molenbeek station where one of the bombs went off.

Blasts at the Zaventem airport and the Maelbeek metro station killed more than 30 people from some 40 countries.

MEA spokesperson Vikas Swarup said, "He was a victim of the blast that took place in the metro at Maalbeek station in Brussels."

Infosys in a condolence message to the media said, "Our thoughts and prayers are with Raghavendran's family and with those who were injured or lost a loved one in these attacks.
