Body of missing youth found floating in Chambal river

The body of a 23-year-old man, who had gone missing from Bengaluru since his sister's death on December 9, was found floating in Chambal River here, police said today.
The victim Vikrant Sharma's body was found yesterday with his hands tied by a handkerchief and a belt around his neck, Sub Inspector Kamal Singh said.
Sharma, a resident of Kota, had gone to meet his elder sister Monalisa in Bengaluru five months ago.
He reportedly left his sister in a hospital in Bengaluru after she had consumed poison, and disappeared the same day without informing his parents of her death, he said.

The parents were informed of Monalisa's death by the private company she worked in. They could not reach their son as his phone was switched off, Singh said.
Police said no case has been registered so far.
"It seems that Sharma, an engineering graduate, committed suicide. However, the statements of the victim's parents will be recorded first on their arrival from Bengaluru," Singh added.
