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.

The Dubai Police have confirmed Sharma’s death. The police have referred his body to the forensic medicine department and the report showed no irregularity in the guitarist’s death, the Khaleej Times reported.

“His body will be handed over to his family after the completion of administrative procedures,” the police said.

The guitarist from the local band Metal Head was very popular across all colleges in Dubai Academic City and was known for his guitar skills, said his friend and fellow rock artist Gaurav Manna.
