Mukesh Ram's body was found floating in the Najafgarh area's wetland, they said.

The incident occurred on September 12, when Mukesh slipped and fell into deep waters while he went fishing with Tusleshwar, Monu and a child, police said.

The trio accompanying him ran away out of fear and failed to inform anyone about the incident, a senior police officer said.

According to the officer, Mukesh's brother, Dinesh Ram, lodged a missing complaint on September 14 stating that his brother had gone fishing two days back.

Later, the victim's body was recovered from the wetland, the officer said, adding that further investigation is underway.
