riderMangalore, May 16: The case of a motorbike rider going missing after having reportedly fallen into the Phalguni River near Kulur last week, took a confusing turn on Wednesday, with the police catching alleged dead man alive in Kundapur.

When the jurisdictional Panambur police were about to intensify the investigation into case after their 48-hour-long search operation in the river for Srinivas Padakannaya proved to be futile, Kundapur police handed over him alive to their custody.

Srinivasa's wife Swati had lodged a complaint with Pamambur police station last Friday stating that her husband had been thrown into the River near Kulur when they were returning from Mangalore at around 6:00 am. She had told police that the motorbike got skidded while avoiding a possible collision with an oncoming tipper.

Interestingly, Swati, who according to her was a pillion rider, had sustained no injuries in the incident. Moreover the motorbike was also not damaged.

Though the police had found fishy in her claims, they completed the formalities by launching a 48-hour-long search operation with the help of Coast Guard personnel and local swimmers.

New Twist

Meanwhile, Srinivasa, who has now been admitted to a private hospital in Suratkal under the pretext of unhealthy, has claimed that he had been kidnapped by unknown miscreants after the alleged accident.

“When I was thrown into the River I had a kept a cheque in my pocket. The miscreants, who took me in a car to a deserted place, stole the cheque after making me to swallow sleeping pills. Finally they threw me out of their car near Kundapur on Tuesday,” he said.

Unconfirmed sources said that a case was registered against Srinivasa a few days ago in Manjeshwar police station for failing to repay the debt of Rs 1.5 lakh to a local business man.
