KATHMANDU: The body of a man who had been missing for three days was discovered on Monday in Tilottama-2, Shankarnagar. The deceased has been identified as 20-year-old Gopal Tandan.
According to the District Police Office in Butwal, Tandan was found dead alongside his motorcycle (Lu 48 Pa 3117) in a roadside trench near Butwal Sub-Metropolitan City Ward No. 11.
The trench had been dug for the removal of a high-tension power line and the installation of monopoles.
