Bantwal: The body of a 13-year-old boy, who had went missing from Mitthabailu near BC Road, was found in the waters of a lake in Kuppila of Kallige village late Saturday night.
The deceased boy, Azim, who was missing since Saturday afternoon, was the son of Abdul Razak, a resident of BC Road. He was studying in Class 8 of a private English medium school here.
Azim had visited his grandmother’s house in Panemangalore on Saturday afternoon. The locals had also seen him playing with his friends there, but he went missing in the evening.
His parents called on Azim’s mobile phone, but, as the boy did not receive the call, they filed a missing complaint at the Bantwal Town Police Station.
The investigating officers traced Azim’s mobile phone to the vicinity of the lake in Kallige. When they searched in the area, they initially found his school uniform, shoes and the phone near the lake.
They then searched for Azim in the lake and found his body.

Lucknow (PTI): Kolkata Knight Riders edged Lucknow Super Giants via Super Overs in a battle between two bottom-placed teams in the IPL, here on Sunday.
Chasing a modest 156, LSG suffered a batting collapse and managed to tie the contest and take it to Super Over with No. 9 Mohammed Shami striking a last-ball six against a wayward Kartik Tyagi, who leaked 16 runs in the final over.
But Sunil Narine bowled a stunning Super Over conceding just one run and taking two wickets to give KKR an easy target.
Rinku Singh then finished the chase with a boundary off first ball from Prince Yadav.
Earlier the KKR were in deep trouble with 93/7 in 15 overs but Rinku smashed a sensational 83 not out from 51 balls including four sixes in a row in the final over to lift them to 155/7.
Cameron Green (34) was the only other batter to reach double-digit scores as KKR suffered a familiar batting meltdown with Mohsin taking his maiden fifer.
In reply, LSG continued their dismal show with the bat to succumb to their fifth loss in a row.
Brief Scores:
Kolkata Knight Riders 155/7; 20 overs (Rinku Singh 83 not out, Cameron Green 34; Mohsin Khan 5/23). Lucknow Super Giants 155/8; 20 overs (Rishabh Pant 42). KKR won via Super Over.
