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.

Achari's friends, who had filed a missing complaint with the Bajpe Police officers, told the police that they had paid a visit to Polali on Tuesday morning and taken a dip in the River Gurupura at noon before offering the prayers at the Rajarajeshwari Temple. When Achari came out of the river waters, finding the lace of one of his shoes missing, he tried to find it in the river, but did not return from the water.

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.

The ship was patrolling in the Caspian Sea near an oil and gas production platform. The extent of the damage is still being clarified, the statement added.

A drilling platform at the Filanovsky oil and gas field in the Caspian Sea was also hit. The facility is operated by Russian oil giant Lukoil. Ukrainian drones also struck a radar system in the Krasnosilske area of Crimea, which Russia illegally annexed from Ukraine in 2014.
