Indian scientist body recovered

The body of an Indian atomic scientist who went missing last week from a power plant near the city of Bangalore has been recovered, police say.

Naval divers discovered L Mahalingam's body in a river close to the power plant on Saturday, five days after the scientist went missing.

Police suspect that the scientist could have committed suicide.

Mr Mahalingam was last seen taking a walk in the complex next to India's biggest naval base.

Officials sought to allay fears that Mr Mahalingam could have been kidnapped. They said he was not carrying any "secret documents".

Mr Mahalingam worked at the plant's simulated training department.
