Ankola: DNA test results have confirmed that the body recovered from the landslide site in Karnataka is that of Arjun, a lorry driver who went missing on July 16. Arjun, a resident of Kannadikkal in Kozhikode, was last seen when his lorry got trapped in a landslide along the Panvel-Kanyakumari National Highway near the Karnataka-Goa border.
The lorry, which had been missing for 71 days, was located in the Gangavali River during a dredging operation. Human remains found inside the vehicle were sent for forensic examination, which has now confirmed Arjun's identity.
The search operation, which was affected by adverse weather conditions, was supervised by Major General Indrabalan. Despite the challenges, the team persisted with the help of divers from Gujarat. The Karnataka Government, after a meeting between the family and Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, agreed to cover the costs of the resumed search efforts, which amounted to Rs 1 crore.
Arjun's remains are expected to reach home soon.
