WALNUT GROVE, California: Deputies have suspended their search for a man who traveled from India to Northern California to attend his daughter's wedding celebration and went missing during the reception.

The Sacramento Sheriff's Department said Tuesday they have indefinitely suspended their search for 55-year-old Prasad Moparti, who disappeared Saturday.

It says deputies searched by ground and air and in the water in the area around the event hall in the Sacramento Delta where the reception was held.

Authorities say family members reported Moparti missing after he left on foot from the reception and never returned.

They say Moparti had arrived in the United States in January and is not familiar with the area.
