The Story in Brief
Over 70 personnel from the police, fire services, forest department and NDRF are searching for Advait Upadhyay, a 31-year-old Indore techie who went missing during a solo trek at Shivagange near Bengaluru on August 7. Bangalore Rural SP MV Chandrakant confirmed the operation to HT. Upadhyay had parked his rented bike at the foothills and was seen climbing in CCTV footage. His family suspects he was kidnapped and robbed.
Police found that the man had used an AI tool to ask about the height of the hill and what happens if someone falls. Inspector B Govardhan called these searches significant. The Madhya Pradesh Police have offered assistance. A missing case has been registered at Kadugodi police station.
The Indian Opinion
Social media has been quick to label the missing techie's AI query about falling from a hill as proof of suicide, while his family insists on a robbery-kidnapping angle. Both sides ignore that such searches could be simple curiosity or precaution for a solo trek. The police are right to keep all possibilities open. The real test will be what his call records, phone location, and any CCTV footage beyond the foothills reveal about his movements after August 7.
