Police work to identify body found in Auckland Harbour

Mandeep Singh was last seen leaving a nightclub at Auckland's Viaduct in the early hours of October 11.

Police are today working to identify the body that was recovered from Auckland's Waitemata Harbour on Sunday.

Officers on board police launch Deodar located a body about 2pm but it is yet to be formally identified.

Police had been searching the area for Indian student Mandeep Singh, 20, who was last seen in a nightclub at the Viaduct in the early hours of October 11.

A spokeswoman said police would work to identify the body today.

On Friday, Acting Detective Senior Sergeant Marcia Murray said the search for Mr Singh in central Auckland had failed to provide any further lines of inquiry.

Police dive squads searched the harbour for Mr Singh on Wednesday, delaying ferry services for some commuters.

"Police do now know that Mandeep was seen on a pier in Queens Wharf just after 4am on Sunday morning and was alone at the time," Ms Murray said.

"So, at this stage, unless further information is received, we are not treating his disappearance as suspicious."

Mr Singh, a culinary arts student from India, went clubbing with three flatmates in the early hours of last Sunday morning before they lost contact with him in the Bungalow 8 nightclub at the Viaduct Harbour about 3am.
