Mangaluru: The body of Prashanth Achari, who had gone missing after getting into the waters of River Gurupura near the Polali Temple on Tuesday morning, was found by the police and fire brigade squad members in waters on Wednesday afternoon.
The deceased Prashanth Achari was the son of Prabhakar Achari, a resident of Akash Bhavan in Kavoor.

The Bajpe Police officials and the local fire brigade visited the spot where Achari went missing and, after a long search for him, found his body in the waters at around 3 pm on Wednesday.
A case has been registered at the Bajpe Police Station. The officers are investigating into the incident.

Bengaluru: A 21-year-old woman was allegedly assaulted in broad daylight in Bengaluru after she rejected repeated relationship advances from a man she had met through social media. The incident, which was captured on CCTV, took place on December 22 around 3.20 pm, NDTV reported.
According to police, the accused, identified as Naveen Kumar, had been in contact with the woman after connecting with her on Instagram earlier this year. While they initially remained in touch through calls and messages, the man reportedly began pressuring her to enter into a relationship, which she refused.
On the day of the incident, the footage shows the woman standing beside a scooty, believed to be an online ride, when the accused arrives at the spot in a car. He is seen taking her purse and checking it before moving towards her and groping her.
The man then repeatedly hits the woman on her head and back and drags her along the road. Despite the presence of two to three bystanders at the scene, no one intervened to help the victim.
The victim later approached the police and filed a complaint. Based on her statement, an FIR was registered, and Naveen Kumar was taken into custody. Police said further investigation is underway.
