MISSING MAN’S BODY FOUND IN DRAIN
The body of 33-year-old Madhusudhan, who was missing for nine days, was found in a drain in front of his house on Monday. A resident of Markandes-hwaranagar in JJ Nagar police station limits was married to Sushmitha, and they have two children. “Sushmitha had come to the police station to file a missing complaint and at the same time, people found the decomposed body in the drain. The family claims that Madhusudhan has left home on many occasions and returned after a few days, so the filing of the complaint was delayed,” the police added.
