\u201cOn August 21, a backpack was found at the top of cliffs called Beachy Head, Eastbourne, East Sussex. Property within the bag was identified as belonging to your son. Unfortunately, the circumstances in how the backpack was found are leading police to believe that your son may have taken his own life. He has not been seen at his home in London since the early hours of August 21. At present, we have not been able to locate your son, but our enquiries into his disappearance are continuing,\u201d the Times of India quoted a letter from police constable Darren Stevens as saying.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, the parents expressed doubt at the police version and said that their son may have been abducted.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe never ever exhibited any negative thoughts during his entire school and college days. The reported recovery of Sriharsha\u2019s laptop bag and his mobile phone at a beach near London points needle of suspicion to some foreign students who stayed along with him at Beaumont House,\u201d Uday Pratap was quoted as saying.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He was a meritorious student who pursued engineering in Hyderabad, did his schooling from the Rishi Valley School at Madanapalle in Andhra Pradesh, he added.<\/span><\/p>\n
