Earlier this month, another Indian student had gone missing in the UK. However, the body of 23-year-old Mitkumar Patel was later found in river Thames. Patel, who arrived in the UK for higher studies in September, was reported missing on November 17.
The Met Police said the death was not believed to be suspicious. Local Indian media reports had said that days before his death, Patel had sent a relative a series of voice messages in which he talked about ending his life.
According to the 'Evening Standard' newspaper, the student was due to move to Sheffield on November 20 to start a degree at Sheffield Hallam University and a part-time job at Amazon. His friends reported him missing after he failed to return from a daily walk to the home where he was staying in London. They later found that he had left his set of keys behind.
