Himanshu Ahuja, a resident of Shahdara, was among the 40 students who travelled to McLeodganj on an excursion with five teachers. Although the police have been conducting searches for two days , there have been no leads in the case so far.

Additional superintendent of police, Kangra, Dinesh Kumar said the group went for a trek to Triund hill. “However, they returned midway from Leta due to thick snow on the trail. They found Ahuja missing on their return and filed a missing person complaint,” he said.

Principal Sunil Sondhi said the college administration is doing its best to help the police in finding the student. “Police have searched the area with sniffer dogs, spoken to locals and also roped in paramilitary forces to find the student, but there have been no leads yet,” he said.

The group of students and teachers, who were supposed to return to Delhi on Tuesday, are still in McLeodganj along with Ahuja’s parents.
