A 27-year-old man from Belagavi who had gone missing five days ago has been found dead near Nandgad Danti in Khanapur taluk of Belagavi district. The deceased, identified as Sarvesh Kangralakar, resided in Marutigalli on Sambra Road in Belagavi. Sarvesh's family informed the police on September 20 evening that he had left home, claiming he was attending the Ganesha festival celebrations.
His parents filed a missing-person complaint at the Malamaruti police station when he failed to return. Concurrently, authorities were alerted about an alleged assault and abduction incident on Mandoli Road. In response, Belagavi City Police Commissioner Prakash Nikam initiated two search teams to locate Sarvesh. Tragically, his body was discovered on Friday, September 25, near Nandgad Danti.
Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding his death, including the potential connection between the Mandoli Road incident and his disappearance. No individual has been accused thus far. Separate missing-person and kidnapping cases have been registered at the Malamaruti and Belagavi Rural police stations, respectively.
The police are conducting an ongoing investigation, with the definitive cause of death to be determined following a postmortem examination and further inquiry.
