Dubai/Manipal: A 22-year-old popular Indian guitarist, who was doing his internship as a fifth-year architecture student at Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE Dubai Campus) has been found dead in his apartment in Dubai, a media report said Friday.

Himanshu Sharma, popularly known as Shaggy, was found dead at his apartment in Garhoud, about 14 kilometres from Dubai on Wednesday.
