Sri Vijaya Puram, November 13: A three-day search for a 61-year-old man who went missing from his residence in Mathura, Bambooflat, ended in tragedy after his body was recovered from a pond at Gandhi Park on November 12. The circumstances surrounding his death remain unclear, with police awaiting the post-mortem report to establish the cause.
The deceased, identified as Kishor, reportedly left his home at around 10 pm on November 9 but did not return. Concerned over his prolonged absence, family members searched for him through the night and continued their efforts the following day. When their attempts to trace him proved unsuccessful, they approached Bambooflat Police Station and lodged a missing-person complaint.
According to information available, Kishor had reportedly been facing health-related difficulties that affected his memory and ability to recognise even close family members. His family was concerned that he might have become disoriented after leaving home and could be unable to find his way back.
The search came to an end on Thursday when his body was spotted in the Gandhi Park pond. Police personnel reached the location and arranged for the body to be retrieved from the water before shifting it to the hospital for further examination.
Cause Awaited
While the recovery has brought closure to the family’s search, several questions surrounding the incident remain unanswered. The circumstances that led Kishor to the pond have not yet been established, and police have not drawn any conclusion regarding the nature of his death.
A post-mortem examination is expected to help determine the cause of death. Further investigation will follow based on the findings and other circumstances surrounding the case.
For the family, what began as an anxious search for a missing loved one has ended in an irreversible loss, even as the circumstances of his death await clarification.
