The professor was found with his hand and throat slit.
Mainak Pal, 44, had decided to return to Kolkata while his friends, who were two in number, carried on with the trip.
Pal had reportedly said he wanted to head back to Kolkata as he was missing his daughter. He is survived by his wife, daughter and parents.
