Poojary was going to the town to bring copper sulphate for his farm. On the way, he was crossing Keelaru rivulet, when the water level in the rivulet suddenly rose because of rains at higher altitudes.

Policemen and local gram panchayat member, Jagadish Rai, on sighting the body, made arrangement to lift it out with the help of the locals, and to conduct post mortem.
