The search for missing 32-year-old cybersecurity professional Advait Upadhyay has concluded without success. Over 100 personnel from various rescue teams and police forces had combed the challenging terrain surrounding Shivagange Hill, 50 kilometers northwest of Bengaluru, but found no leads. The physical operation included a final push by experienced rock climber Jyothiraj and his team, who examined the cliffs near Shantala Drop, reaching an altitude of nearly 4,800 feet.
Advait, an IIT graduate specializing in cybersecurity, was reportedly due to marry soon. Police have shifted their focus to scrutinizing his digital presence, examining phone logs, digital communications, and online accounts to trace his movements prior to his disappearance. They are also investigating the possibility that his vanishing was premeditated.
Meanwhile, in a separate incident, a 25-year-old woman named Payal Bhanwar was electrocuted while bathing at her residence near Tejaji Nagar police station. The woman, a resident of Machla village, suffered a fatal electric shock after an issue with the wiring system, likely caused by a cut in the wire due to frequent door openings and closings. The police are probing the incident to determine the exact sequence of events and have sent her body for a post-mortem examination.
