Missing Malaysian trekker found dead in India
NEW DELHI: A Malaysian trekker on a spiritual visit, who went missing in the northern Indian mountains more than a month ago, was found dead by an Indian rescue team.
Vicknesvaren Murugesu's body was found Saturday night in the hilly Topavan area, about 25 km from his resthouse in Gangotri, a popular spiritual site in Uttarkashi, in the northern state of Uttranchal.
The 33-year-old Vicknesvaren, an engineer by profession, arrived in Gangotri on Sept 18 and trekked to Topavan with a local porter.
He was scheduled to have returned to his resthouse about two weeks later but failed to show up.
He is believed to have died of severe head injuries. - Bernama
