The police has confirmed that the body pulled from the Waitemata Harbour on October 18 afternoon is that of missing Indian student Mandeep Singh.

The 20-year-old went clubbing with his flatmates on October 10 when they lost contact with him in the Bungalow 8 nightclub around 3 a.m. The body was recovered from about 12 km from where the culinary arts student was last seen, NZ Herald reported.

Singh’s death is now the subject of a Coroner's enquiry.

Police had been looking around the harbour and CBD area for signs of the culinary student, who was last seen in a nightclub at the Viaduct in the early hours of October 11.

The Police divers searched the harbour for Mr Singh on Wednesday October 14 but called off the search on Friday October 16 after no sign of Singh.

The search then restarted in the weekend and the body was found on Sunday October 18.

Acting Detective Senior Sergeant Marcia Murray expressed her sympathies to the family.
