Kundapur, September 26: A youth in Aloor village under Nada Gram Panchayat in Kundapur taluk was found dead under mysterious circumstances on Wednesday.
Local residents were shocked to witness the dead body of 28-year-old taxi driver Yogesh Ganiga hanging from a tree in the morning.
Son of Krishna and Gulabi Ganiga couple residing at Aloor, Yogesh Ganiga had purchased a taxi last year.
Though initially it appeared to be a suicide, the damaged taxi, which was parked on the other side of the road and torn dress of the deceased, led local people to suspect that it might be a murder.
Moreover he was found hanging by his own trousers. The police, who rushed to the spot, sent body to Manipal for post-mortem.
Kundapur DySP Yashoda Shirbur said that the actual cause of the youth's death would be revealed only after a complete post-mortem report was obtained.
A case has been registered at Gangolli police station.
