NEW DELHI: Indian police are investigating the disappearance of a Japanese university student who went missing hours after he arrived in the capital, a police official said.

Kota Shinozaki, aged 21, passed through Indian immigration on September 3 after landing at New Delhi airport aboard a Cathay Pacific flight.

He changed currency before the trail went cold, Japanese Embassy Counsellor Shigeyuki Shimamori told reporters.

Witnesses last saw him carrying a rucksack.

"This was his first visit to India and he was due to return to Japan on September 23," Shimamori said.

A Delhi police official confirmed that a missing person's report had been filed by the Japanese embassy in New Delhi on October 17, after Shinozaki's parents notified the foreign ministry in Tokyo of their son's disappearance.

"Our colleagues are checking with local taxi operators, guides and hotels. The investigation is going on."

Shinozaki's parents are expected to arrive in India shortly.

India's tourism ministry, which has launched an ambitious marketing strategy to attract foreign tourists as India prepares to host the 2010 Commonwealth Games, has introduced several measures to ensure the safety of visitors from abroad.

These included creating a pool of English-speaking taxi operators and women cab drivers.
