Kundapura, August 30, 2025:The body of Bengaluru-based woman, Vasudha Chakravarthy (46), who had gone missing after being swept away in the Sowparnika river, was found today near Mavinakaru.

A resident of Tyagarajanagar in Bengaluru, Vasudha had been a frequent visitor to the Kollur temple. On August 27, she reportedly slipped while near the river and was dragged away by the strong current. A rescue team led by expert diver Eshwar Malpe and personnel from the fire department had been conducting searches, but the strong river flow had hampered operations.

After two days of continuous search, the body was finally recovered today near Mavinakaru. Kollur police, fire service personnel, Eshwar Malpe, and locals including Pradeep Bhat Sampre took part in the operation. The body has been sent for post-mortem examination.
