Subsequently, an NDRF team launched a search operation and found his body in the reservoir on Saturday after it rose to the water surface. As many as 19 rescuers in three boats had been toiling to find Amandeep for two days, said police, adding that even rain hampered the search.

The body was shifted to the Kalka civil hospital for autopsy to establish the cause of death. Police have not ruled out foul play and are awaiting the autopsy report for further action.

Earlier, police had registered a case under Section 346 (wrongful confinement in secret) of the Indian Penal Code at the Pinjore police station.
