Akash was a garment businessman and content creator who ran a fashion- oriented YouTube channel ‘Styling.’ According to his cousins, he had a notable online presence and promoted apparel and fashion products through his videos.

Family members said Akash left his home in Mandawali Unchepar around 12.30 pm on Saturday. He was reportedly carrying around Rs 1.5 lakh cash to buy apparel stock from Gandhi Nagar wholesale market.

According to Akash’s kinsman Satyendra Singh, his wife tried to call him at around 2.20 pm. Although the phone rang, her husband did not answer. But shortly after that , at about 2.33 pm, his phone was switched off.

Repeated attempts to reach him failed, causing concern among family members. Later that evening, the family approached the Mandawali police station and filed a missing person complaint. During the search, the last given position of his mobile phone was traced to the Anand Vihar area.

On Sunday, cousins reportedly discovered Akash’s body in a vacant plot belonging to the Delhi Development Authority near Telco T- Point in Anand Vihar.
