Mumbai, July 31 (IBNS): Anand Mahindra, the chairman of Mahindra Group, has left a message for entrepreneurs after Cafe Coffee Day (CCD) founder VG Siddhartha's dead body was found by police on early Wednesday morning.

In a tweet for all entrepreneurs, Mahindra said, "I did not know him & have no knowledge of his financial circumstances. I only know that entrepreneurs must not allow business failure to destroy their self-esteem. That will bring about the death of entrepreneurship."

Police on Wednesday recovered the body of businessman VG Siddhartha, who has been missing for the past two days, from the banks of the Netravathi River in Karnataka’s Mangaluru area.

VG Siddhartha, the son-in-law of BJP leader SM Krishna, went missing on Monday.

A massive team of 100 firefighters, 100 policemen, 50 divers, 50 fishermen and 30 boats earlier conducted a search operation find the businessman.

According to The News Minute report, a fisherman named Ritesh on a trawler boat found the body when he cast his net into the waters. Since the police had informed fishermen to keep an eye out, Ritesh suspected that the body could have been Siddhartha's and immediately informed a local resident (Ashwath), who subsequently intimidated the local corporator Diwakar Pandeshwar and then the trio informed the local police. 

In a letter written before going missing, Siddhartha had alleged that an income tax official was "harassing" him and he was under "tremendous pressure".
