Panchkula, Aug. 24 -- The body of a 25-year-old man from Chandigarh, who had disappeared on August 9, was found buried near the Pinjore bypass on Saturday.

The Pinjore police conducted a five-hour operation from 10 am to 3.30 pm and exhumed the body from a depth of approximately 30 feet, said Pinjore SHO Inspector Bachchu Singh. He added that the body was covered by a thick layer of soil due to rain and soil displacement.

The deceased, identified as Rajiv Gupta from Bapu Dham Colony, Sector 26, was reported missing by his father, Ramu Gupta, on August 18 at the IT Park police station. In his complaint, Ramu Gupta said that his son had visited him in Manimajra on August 9 for the Rakhi festival and had not been seen since.
