Mangaluru: The body of a 30-year-old man, identified as Kaushik Belchad, was recovered from the Phalguni River on Thursday afternoon following an apparent suicide. Belchad reportedly jumped from the Phalguni Bridge near Gurupura on Wednesday evening.
According to preliminary reports, Belchad arrived at the bridge at approximately 6:30 PM on Wednesday, parked his scooter, and then jumped into the river. Initial search efforts were hampered by darkness, and operations were suspended until the following day.
