A shocking and disturbing incident has come to light in Gadag district, where a young man who had been missing for the past four days has been found dead under mysterious circumstances.

Victim Identified

The deceased has been identified as 28-year-old Chandru Kuri, a resident of Huyilagol village in Gadag taluk. According to reports, Chandru received a phone call from an acquaintance on the night of Tuesday, March 24, shortly after having dinner at home. He reportedly left immediately after the call but did not return, prompting concern among his family members.

Body Found Under Bridge

After days of uncertainty, Chandru’s burnt body was discovered under a bridge on the outskirts of Hombal village. The condition of the body suggests that it was set on fire, possibly in an attempt to conceal his identity and destroy crucial evidence.
