BICHOLIM
The body of the Rajasthani tourist Jitu Kumar Jadhav (25) who was feared drowned in the Amthane Dam on Friday was recovered on Sunday, following joint search operations by teams from the navy and fire services.
Sources in the Bicholim police said one leg of the deceased was missing and they suspect that the crocodiles in the water may have mutilated the body.
It may be recalled that Jadhav and four others had gone to the Amthane Dam to celebrate New Year. Three of them had gone for a swim, when Jitu Kumar Jadhav went missing in the water.
Teams from Bicholim Police and fire services went to the site and began search operations, but could not locate the missing youth on Friday and Saturday.
