A supervisor with a security agency, who had been missing for a week, was found dead under mysterious circumstances in a trench filled with water in Malad (W) late on Tuesday. The deceased, Vikram Singh, was identified on the basis of a steel bracelet he was wearing. Police officials said his body was badly decomposed.
Singh (38) went missing on August 14 and his cellphone was also switched off. He was last spotted at an under-construction site at Agarwal Compound in Malad (W), where he worked.
The next day, his wife approached the Malad police and registered a missing person's complaint. On investigation, the police found that a junior guard from Agarwal Compound, who used to report to Singh, had suddenly disappeared.
"Singh was involved in real estate transactions. He was also engaged in constructing a chawl at Nalasopara," a police officer said.
Officers, who visited Agarwal Compound to make inquiries, came across alcohol bottles and pornographic films. "Singh had met someone on August 14, whom he had been introduced to four months ago. We are trying to trace this person," said an officer.
A native of Madhya Pradesh, Singh resided at Kurar village with his wife and three children. On Tuesday night, the police were informed about a foul odour emanating from a trench filled with water near Agarwal Compound. Singh's body was found floating in the trench, which is over 15ft deep. The body was taken to the Borivli post-mortem centre for an autopsy. It was severely decomposed and the police could not make out whether there were any external injuries.
A case of accidental death has been recorded as the police are awaiting the post-mortem report. Officials said it was likely that Singh had been murdered.
