A 22-year-old man who went missing during last week’s heavy rainfall was found to be drowned in an under-construction drain of the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) along the Hamilton Court road on Saturday, police said on Wednesday.

Police said that the deceased was later identified as Naresh Bhatt, who hailed from Nepal worked as a waiter in a restaurant on MG Road. He came to the city six months back to earn a livelihood and was living in a rented accommodation with his father, Ram Dutt Bhatt in Sushant Lok Phase-I. He had gone missing last Wednesday night and his decomposed body, floating in the drain, was spotted by a commuter at 5pm on Saturday after the rainwater had receded. To be sure, this is the ninth death that happened due to heavy rainfall that took place on July 9 and July 10.
