His body was brought here in the afternoon. The 32-year-old Army officer, who hailed from Mamangalam in the city, was reported missing four days ago, as he was driving back to Pachmarhi on August 15 after meeting his wife, a Lieutenant posted in Jabalpur. They had married earlier this year. He was undergoing training at the Army Education Corps centre at Suratgarh, Rajasthan.
