According to a Maalaimalar report, the deceased was a Class 11 student and son of Ganesan (47) from Avadi. He had gone missing on May 22 while bathing in the sea behind the Kannagi statue at Marina Beach after being swept away by giant waves.

A rescue team led by the Marina Police Inspector, along with Coastal Security Group personnel, had been carrying out an intensive search operation for the student over the past few days.

In this situation, Sudharshan’s body washed ashore near the harbour beach area on Sunday. Police recovered the body and sent it to the Government Royapettah Hospital for postmortem examination.

Further investigation is under way.
