Bhatkal: Body of Ibrahim Abida, a 16-year old local boy who was washed away in Kadvinkatte dam on Wednesday evening, was recovered on Friday afternoon, after an intense two-day search operation by local youngsters led by Bhatkal Muslim Youth Federation (BMYF).
Hundreds of people then gathered at Bhatkal Taluk Government Hospital after Friday prayers where his body was taken for post-mortem.
Family sources informed that Ibrahim’s funeral rites will be carried after Asar prayers on Friday.
Ibrahim was washed away in the gushing water at Kadvinkatte Dam on Wednesday evening when he went picnicking to the spot along with his friends, hours after returning to India from Umrah Pilgrimage.
An intense search operation was undertaken by local youngsters under the guidance of BMYF amidst complains of non-co-operation from local police and coast guard.

Hyderabad (PTI): The Telangana government on Sunday said it has decided to name the upcoming greenfield radial road at the proposed RRR in honour of the late industrialist Ratan Tata.
In another proposal, a high-profile road along the United States Consulate General in Hyderabad will be named ‘Donald Trump Avenue’, the government said in a release.
The state government will write to the Union Ministry of External Affairs and the US Embassy to inform them of the plans.
Earlier this year, Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, while addressing the annual US-India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF) conclave in Delhi, had proposed naming key roads in Hyderabad after leading global corporations.
Additionally, a prominent stretch will be named ‘Google Street’ to recognise the global impact and contribution of Google and Google Maps.
The road along Google’s upcoming campus, set to be the company’s largest outside the US, in Hyderabad’s Financial District, will receive this recognition, the release said.
The proposals are part of the Telangana government’s initiative to position the state as a hub for innovation-driven development.
Microsoft and Wipro are also expected to receive recognition in the city’s topography, with a Wipro Junction and a Microsoft Road, in line with the chief minister’s vision, the release added.
The state government is considering dedicating additional roads in honour of distinguished individuals and corporations.
