A Bengaluru techie goes missing during a solo trek on Shivagange Hill near Bengaluru, with authorities searching the area after he does not return. His rented motorcycle is found, but investigators report there is no evidence of his return. The incident is reported as beginning on Friday.
Police expand the search by bringing in the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF). A 15-member SDRF team scans the treacherous terrain, using drone and other search resources, as part of intensified efforts. Heavy rain hampers parts of the initial rescue work over the weekend. Local police and SDRF teams are checking the hill and surrounding areas as the search continues.
Outlets also note that police examine multiple possibilities. While coverage highlights the ongoing search under way, reporting also states investigators consider all angles, including kidnapping or robbery, as they attempt to determine how and when the man became unaccounted for.
