In the valley of drugs &deaths, Akshay Sethi's is disappearance No 27

The place has earned the dubious distinction of keeping its sinister secrets. The better substitute for the word 'secret' here is 'disappearance' or 'gone missing.' Till now, in the last 11 years, 27 trekkers 21 foreigners and six Indians have gone missing from Parvati Valley, thus earning the valley various undesired sobriquets such as 'India's Bermuda Triangle' or 'The Valley of Drugs & Death.'

Akshay's distraught father Manmohan Sethi says he doesn't want to talk about it except to reiterate the fact that "Yes, he is still missing." Earlier, Mr Sethi had put up a Facebook post stating that his son had gone missing on 28 May, and should anyone know about his whereabouts should contact him (Mr Sethi).
