A man who went missing in 1997 has reportedly been found perfectly preserved inside a glacier after 28 years. The man, believed to be Nasiruddin, disappeared while returning from Sapat Valley almost three decades ago.
The discovery was made on August 1 in the Palas region by a shepherd named Umar Khan and his companions. While moving through the area, they spotted a body frozen inside the glacier. To their astonishment, it was completely intact, with the clothes still in place as if untouched by time.
Inside the man’s pocket, they found a National Identity Card with the name “Nasiruddin,” leading many to believe it is the same person who vanished in 1997.
Local authorities quickly arrived at the scene and took custody of the body. A DNA test has been initiated to officially confirm the identity. Officials say this step is necessary before making any final announcements to the public.
The finding has sparked curiosity and emotion among locals, who remember the case as an unsolved mystery for years. Many see it as a rare and extraordinary example of how freezing conditions can preserve a human body for decades.
Family members of Nasiruddin have been informed, and they await the DNA results to know for sure if the long-lost relative has finally been found. Authorities plan to release more details after the tests are completed.
For now, the glacier has given up a story frozen in time, offering a possible end to a mystery that has lasted nearly three decades.
