Mangaluru: The dead body of a 45-year-old person, who went missing from near the Nethravathi (Ullal) bridge two days ago, was found at Uliya near Pavoor on Saturday, June 20.
The deceased has been identified as Surendra Rai, a resident of Talapady. He was reported to have gone missing near the Ullal bridge and his mobile phone was found near the bridge on June 18.
