Nandakumar (68), a retired Puttur Vivekananda College employee, was found dead in a trench at Rotaripura Samethadka on Friday. Suspected foul play surrounds the incident, as the ₹1-1.5 lakh cash he was carrying is missing.
He reportedly left his home on December 5 to deliver the cash to his sister. CCTV footage shows him falling into a roadside trench near Bharath Bank on Thursday evening. Police suspect rainwater carried his body three kilometers downstream.
While authorities suggest the cash might have been taken by a passerby, locals question the narrative, raising doubts about his unusual decision to walk and the possibility of foul play. Investigations are ongoing.
