Bantwal— A 28-year-old man who was reported missing a few days ago was tragically found dead in a roadside drain on Monday.
The deceased has been identified as Sagar, son of Janardhana Poojary from Benjanapadavu. Sagar worked as a painter and was last seen on June 14, when he had travelled in an autorickshaw with his wife and child to buy medicines. After getting down near Mooru Marga on his return journey, he went missing, prompting his family to file a missing person’s report.
On Monday, his body was discovered near High School Road in Vidyanagar, lying in a drain along the roadside. Preliminary suspicion suggests that he may have accidentally fallen into the ditch, leading to his death.
Further investigation is underway to confirm the cause and circumstances of the incident.
