Mangaluru : The body of one of the youths who went missing after they drowned in the Arabian Sea was found on Thursday. Rescuers and police were able to recover the body of Sharukh while efforts are on to pull out Ayaz’s body which is stuck between the rocks in the breakwater near Uchila, Someshwar Beach.

Police officials said that due to heavy water currents, his body has been pulled inside the breakwater stones and only a part is visible from the outside. Rescuers who spotted the body, have tied a rope to its leg so that it is not pulled inside completely.

Meanwhile, under the leadership of Renuka Prasad, assistant commissioner, earth movers have brought to the seashore to remove the body intact. Police added that the operation was delayed due to rough sea. The body of Sharukh which was recovered on Thursday morning, has been handed over to his family members after postmortem. The boys were from Tumakuru and had come to Mangaluru after celebrating Eid.
