According to reports from Public TV, local authorities in Nelamangala are continuing their search for Advait Upadhyay, a software engineer from Kadugodi, Bengaluru, who went missing while trekking at the historic Shivagange Hills. The search operation has entered its third day as police teams work to trace the movements of the Indore-born professional.
Investigators have reportedly uncovered details suggesting that the individual may have been researching locations prior to his disappearance. According to police sources, digital forensic analysis of a laptop linked to Upadhyay revealed search queries regarding drop points and potential outcomes related to a fall from the heights of the hill. These findings have led officials to consider the possibility of a pre-planned act of self-harm, though the investigation remains active.
Local police continue to coordinate with search and rescue teams to comb the rugged terrain of the Shivagange area. While the investigation into the digital evidence is ongoing, authorities have not yet reached a final conclusion regarding the circumstances of the disappearance. Further updates are expected as the search teams continue their efforts in the region.
The report is based on ongoing police investigations into a missing person case in Nelamangala. As this is a local law enforcement matter, it is typical for such details to be reported by regional media outlets before appearing in national or international wires.
