Gurashman’s family in Jalandhar has been notified, even though official identification has not yet occurred.
Back in Jalandhar, while speaking to the Statesman, the neighbours of Gurashman’s family say the family left for the UK after they came to know that their son had gone missing.
“Officers conducted in-depth investigations, watching CCTV, interacting with witnesses, and examining financial and phone records. Additionally, water searches were done, according to a statement released by the Metropolitan Police on Wednesday.
Reacting to Gurashman’s death, BJP’s Manjinder Singh Sirsa had earlier said in a video posted on X: “Deeply saddened to hear about the passing of G S Bhatia, a Loughborough University student who was missing since December 15th. Our thoughts are with the family and friends during this difficult time.”
Sirsa also sought the intervention of External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar’s in the matter.
