Search for missing IIT Indore techie called off, Bengaluru police focus on digital footprint
Advait Upadhyay was reported missing from Shivagange Hill, which is located about 50 kilometre northwest of Bengaluru
The search for missing 31-year-old IIT Indore graduate Advait Upadhyay has been terminated after extensive efforts on Shivagange Hill failed to uncover any trace of him. The hill, situated approximately 50 kilometers northwest of Bengaluru, served as the focal point for a multi-agency operation involving over 100 personnel from the NDRF, SDRF, Forest Department, and local police.
Despite a final major search effort by renowned rock climber Jyothiraj and his team, who searched the treacherous cliffs near Shantala Drop, Advait's body was not located. Police investigations have revealed a sophisticated social network and advanced cybersecurity skills possessed by the tech professional, with his disappearance potentially being a deliberate act.
The Kadugodi police, who have registered a missing person complaint, are now focusing on reconstructing Advait's movements and digital activities prior to his vanishing.
