Missing man found charred under bridge in Gadag; family suspects foul play
Gadag: A 28-year-old man who had been missing for four days was found dead in a burnt condition under suspicious circumstances in Gadag district.
The deceased has been identified as Chandru Kuri, a resident of Huyilagol village in Gadag taluk. According to reports, he had left his house on the night of March 24 after receiving a phone call and did not return.
Family members, who had been searching for him since then, later came to know that a body had been found in a charred state under a bridge on the outskirts of Hombal village.
Sources said the condition of the body indicates that it was set on fire, possibly to destroy evidence and conceal identity.
The family has alleged foul play, stating that Chandru may have been called out and murdered. They have also expressed suspicion over the involvement of certain individuals.
Gadag Rural Police have registered a case of suspicious death and initiated an investigation. Police said all possible angles are being examined to determine the exact circumstances of the incident.
