Udupi, May 9: The skeletal remains of a youth who went missing nine months ago were found at Hiriyadka in the district.
The deceased has been identified as Nagaraj (30), son of Manjunatha Achari, and was a resident of Perdoor Pakkalu.
Nagaraj went missing in August 2021. A missing case was filed in Hiriyadka police station. Though police and other locals searched for him everywhere, he could not be traced.
